Nothing!!
General comments?
This is the second car I have owned with the 1st being a N reg citroen AX.
I am very impressed with the car, the equiptment, the performance and the style. I was worried that the car was going to be too big for me (after the tiny AX) but its not! its really nice to drive, so quite, gear changes are great and the sound system is really good! I am very impressed with the car!
I was worried that the 1.2 engine was going to be far to small for the size of the car, but its not! its really quick, I always beat other cars from lights including a TT and a Celica!
Everyone who has seen the car has said how nice it looks and are very impressed - it looks and feels a lot more expensive than it is!
Both insurance and tax are cheap (even know it costs an extra £400 a year more than my AX, which is worth every penny!) - with me being only 19 this is very important. I couldnt say what the car is like with petrol cos I don't really take any notice and just fill it up when the light comes on.
The computer in the car is great and tells you everything you need to know from if the door is open to what the tempature is - I'm still finding little gadgets all the time such as being able to open and close the windows with the remote! (hold down the open or close button on the key!)
I am really happy with this car and very proud of it!!!
