  dealer in terms of after care etc, or anything else? Are there any reason I should feel guilty about? Having test driven a few super-minis, I\'d like to review the cars I\'ve tried, hoping it might help someone who?s seeking small hatchbacks. I tried Ford fiesta zetec, Nissan Micra SV, Renault

  on the standard 17’s. I would be the first to admit that I would prefer bigger rims for aesthetics but as a day to day car, 17’s are the sweet spot for ride/handling. I would not consider M Sport suspension at all. The SE is firm enough for a back road blast and comfortable enough on the motorway. The engine
