What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?
Car that was enjoyable to drive on a commute between 30-90 minutes. Yes it was great. Still enjoy driving it 12 years and 165,000k later
What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
Looked good! I look good in it lol. Wanted to try out a manual for a change and that was an option
What have you discovered since owning the car?
Expensive to maintain. But that was expected. Scary on the motorway beside a truck as it’s quite short and not necessarily visible
What do you like/dislike about the car?
It looks great and is fun to drive. Looks good in bright blue, a colour that looks odd on more conventional cars
Any other comments on the car?
Love driving the manual.

Lastly, would you buy this vehicle again?
Yes
Why would/wouldn't you buy it again?
I have to sell because I have moved overseas. I’m very sad. Would buy again if I move back to NZ, maybe an electric model. Updated tech would be useful (mine is a 2011 model)
