Best car ive had I'd say. holds rd well, and very little body roll surprisingly for its height. Fuel economy even with everything on, its pretty good, and superb without anything on... i nearly got 90mpg out of it once...but average at moment is late 40's with aircon, lights, stereo(which is very good) etc all blasting away.

The scooter is up and running too, as is the hoist... its a little tricky to use and ive managed to bang the hoist into the back door outer rim twice already:doh: fortunately no lasting damage...

Lol... I can almost *feel* your joy, mate! I'm pleased for you, and long may it continue. Enjoy and have FUN. It's ultimately what life's all about, as there's WAY too much doom and gloom around these days!:cool:

Just don't be tempted to have a wee tipple, no matter how small, before getting behind the wheel;)

Had the car out today and as it was a nice day took a pic or 2... this is at lidl and gives a good view of the back, which is a love it or hate style i guess.

Any roof for the driver

Looks pretty roomy back there, is back seat removed or just folded down?

not a bad size in back tbh. its deceptive from outside. yup, the bigger seat back is folded over. doesn't go full flat in back, but its doable. its a 3 seater now, but can take the scooter out and go back to full capacity, although the hoist takes up a fair bit of boot.

Still enjoying the new car. went for a run today again and over mostly 50/40 and 30 zones plus some motorway i still achieved over 65mpg. Makes a big difference when you dont have the heaters on or lights etc. was at 80mpg at the turnaround point.
