I've had my multijet for 6 months now. Now the excitement of owning my first bran new car has worn off I'm starting to wish i'd bought something else.
I guess the cumbia beige colour doesn't help. The looks haven't grown on me at all as i would have hoped they would, it just looks boxy and uninspiring to me thesedays.
I find the performance of the multijet laggy and lethargic. The economy is okay but not amazing (avg around 53mpg or so).
The body rolls way too much for my liking.
Its been fault free and i keep telling myself it was the sensible choice because it was way cheaper than other options (aygo sport, 100hp, twingo GT etc).
It does though work well for my job, nobody is going to nick it are they? Its fairly economical and reasonably good for nipping around town, but i really don't like the laggy diesel, am thinking i would have preferred the responsiveness of the petrol.
On the other hand it is great on the motorway.
But i do worry that i've got another 2.5 years to go before i pay it off and can get something with better performance, better handling and better looks (would love a mini). I just can't help thinking that i want to get rid sooner, but know i've made teh sensible choice from a money point of view.
I excuse the car by saying it was cheap.
Anyone else had these feelings or are you happy with your choice months down the line?
