Re: What small car?
Scrub that, go for the Cooper - good second hand one - do you really want to look like a dork in a Rio or a Spark?

Re: What small car?
I rarely look like a dork in anything due to my spectacularly good hair 
Admittedly my older rio has a touch of the nanna about it but the new ones are cute

Re: What small car?
Just realised - sorry to all those who drive the aforementioned slighted cars. For what it's worth, I once owned a Reliant Robin (ok, it was a long time ago and I was a student). Thing is, everytime I have thought, well I would like that one, but will make do with that one - always ended up regretting not going the extra.

I am sure you would look gorgeous in anything, but when you have a rather less than spectacular barnet, you need all the help you can get.

...is known as an Echo in NZ (Yaris in Eurospeak), which is what I have now except not one with any fancy letters after the name. I loved it six years ago but now I am very much over it, it's getting old and very rattly now.
I guess I can't look any worse of a dork than I already do. It could be far worse, at least I'm not considering the full on mid-life crisis, two-seater rag top sports car look.

Do not, under any circumstances, do the mid life crisis thing. Be very aware.

Yes that's the one, I think it's a step too close to the mid-life thing, for me anyway.

Re: What small car?
Whereas actual young people would just buy a Citroën DS3 because the MINI is too "mum" and hence uncool? I see your point.
