All depends on a few small things get the MOT out the way and fiances etc...but what I will say is...

they are a well known little car, 2 seats, RWD, 1 less cog on the gearbox, less power, around 1/2 the torque of the 2.0D, weigh just over 1000KG (in comparison with the Volvo's 1400KG), no cruise, no traction control/stability control or spin control, but have ABS and EBD, smaller wheels by a grand total of an inch (17's on the ovlov), cheaper to insure, service, little bit less MPG, less on tyres, a tiny bit more on tax...

overall not a lot of "features or tech"...

Ha ha. Yeah Volvo owners have nothing to say when we talk about stereotypes do we.

Hoe you enjoy it. My mate has 1, though he is thinking of selling it.
