No doubt about it................THAT was a bargain!

The IDEA is a well built car, and fully equipped. Although I don't think they have ESP?.............I could be wrong, but I don't think its fitted to my 05 Eleganza.

Looks nice, just remember front springs. Parking sensors & tailgate (boot release) handle can play up. I notice non-standard radio but thats ok as original keeps switching on by itself normally during the night! (probably why it was changed)
 
picked it up, pretty impressed with it 4 hour drive home.
Normally i get aches and pains after an hour or 2 driving especially with a manual gearbox and have to stop and get out for a stretch, but didn't have to in this :) its very comfy to drive. put £58 fuel in and still have half a tank left :) i wasnt driving for economy either.

the speed limit beep is better than in my croma i get a little hight pitched short beep in that, much prefer this one it dings like my satnav, freaked me out at first though when it lit up warning triangle too :eek:

it handles better that i was expecting i was expecting lots of body roll with it being a tall car with high profile tyres, but it wasn't bad at all :)

parking sensors all work :)

only thing ive found wrong so far is brake lights some times stick on, bit of wd40 on switch will fix it maybe?

oh it looks smaller in the flesh than in photos, like a punto mk2 has humped a panda mk3 and this was the result
