General 500 on sky news website

[The Beard]

I don't know if anybody else has seen this, but on the Sky News site there is a fairly light-hearted but still fairly objective comparison between the 500 MJ, the Mitsubishi i and the G-Wiz

I think you have to put cars in context when they are tested. There's no point putting the cheapest 500 up against the cheapest Mini as there's about £2,000 + between them. I've spoken to a couple of 500 drivers at Manchester
Airport, both of them 20 something aircraft cabin crew (both female) and both
had replaced a Ford Ka when they bought them.
Putting it up against the Mitsi and G-wiz makes sense as they are all small and slip into the bottom area of tax banding and a similar price. Having said that, the Mitsi would perhaps have been better placed against the Panda MJ.
