mate had one, nippy little things, wouldnt like to have a crash in one though. lost count of how many things went wrong with his aswell. His was an R reg and that was a few years ago.

Would have one over a saxo any day though.

Good wee motors.
My wife has a 51 plate and now just over the 50K mark.

Very nippy and nice to drive (compared to my feestie van!)

Agree with the pedal comment though. I can't drive it with my shoes/boots on as I throttle and brake at the same time!
