Thank you for the kind welcome.
I would definitely recommend the Active. Its nice and compact; nippy for a 1.2 and great mpg. The drive is good as well especially when using the city button around town and makes parking a doddle.
I've already begun to make some changes. Fitted a Sony cd player as there was a radio/cassette player as standard, which I think is the only negative I've found so far, especially for a 54 plate car.
Oh yeah there is a slight sensor problem with a light always staying on. I think its a door sensor could someone confirm this please (see pic, not my car but taken from internet but showing the light on).
