I bought this car in 2008 as my first car. I had some experience driving Honda Civics in the past so had an attraction to this car already. This city car is a looker. In terms of design and aesthetics, it scores really really high. Some people don't like the rear but i think when compared to other similar cars at that range, this is the most funky model, with all sorts of little details that will impress anyone. That's the good side, the little details. The board is spectacular, looks something like a space ship. It is a pleasure to drive and although I know would like to move on to a Sedan, i could easily stick to this model if i wanted to stay within this price and type range.
