1.4 Boosterjet Hybrid sport

Frugal fun

It's far livelier than the official numbers suggest and has all the go you need, at 2000rpm or less. The tree all 6th gear gets more use than I expected.I also find it easy to average close to 50mpg. When we looked at the car in the showroom we decided to live with the small boot. It's a tiny car by modern standards so seems a fair trade. In fact we find it's fine 99% of the time, and fold a back seat down and it's coped with everything we have needed. It has impressive levels of grip and is surprisingly comfortable for a small car, never mind a sporty one. Sports are made in Japan so yes, not a bargain but excellent quality and loaded with kit that all works.. It isn't the quietest car ever and the steering doesn't have the delicate tactile feel I like but overall you can't help loving the little rocket.
