bottom line, I really like it..
Thanks for the reply. I've thought about getting one, off and on, for about 5 years. This thread got me thinking about them yet again, and then this car popped up locally on Autotrader. Its specifications ticked a lot of the boxes I'd been looking for (black, manual transmission, no sunroof) and I like the monochrome Union Jacks so I went to check it out. I've only driven home from the dealership so far, so the only impressions so far are that it's quicker than you'd think.

This completes the modern micro-car unholy trinity for me - I've now owned a Smart Fortwo, Fiat 500, and Mini.
