practical side depends on you...

i had my 2.2 for just 13 months, managed 34,500 miles in that time! only time it let me down was trying to get an ironing board in it!

if your other half/mum/dad/sister/mate has a hatchback for occassional uses, you're laughing.

difficult to get in and out of? i'm six foot and a wide arsed 15 stone! providing you don't just wheel it out on sundays for a ten minute blast, you'll soon get the knack.

even now i miss mine...
