Bought our 1.4 petrol base model new in October 2005. It's suprisingly nippy - takes many motorists by suprise at lights, roundabouts etc. The room inside is vast, doubles up as a small removal van and and can carry items which an estate couldn't do. Only downside is the 1.4 feels the strain when fully laden with kids, dogs etc and it can roll in corners if pushed too hard. Opt for the diesel if your budget stretches. Done over 8000 miles so far without a single problem!
