I bought one that was 18 months old to use to commute to work and for it's size I was quite surprised by it's abilities. The only drawbacks I found in the two years I had it were the plonkers who underrated it and tried to overtake as soon as they pass the national speed limit sign at the end of a built up area. They seemed to think because you drove at 30mph in the town you wouldn't get faster out of it. I used to enjoy accelerating away and leaving them sitting on the wrong side of the road. I know you shouldn't do it, but judging a book by it's cover is also wrong.
Eventually it got wearing though and I got something different when it came time for a trade in.
A good small car though with low running costs - more than adequate for most "about town" needs if folk were honest with themselves.
