What are peoples thoughts on these?

I get one tomorrow to try out for the weekend.
Wife's getting a long trip to and from work starting August, so the 11 year old Corsa has to let its way in favour of something more economical.

As a fun and not to common car (only 11 for sale in the country) it seems a great compromise between comfort, driving joy and economy.

If only the outside looked as good as the interior...

It's this one we're trying:

I once saw 20 of them in convoy before they were released around here. Think people were testing them or something.

Slow and a little ugly at the back, but probably nice to drive.

Interior is like a space ship!

Not keen on the exterior, but the interior seems quite nice

Don't hold your self back, it's fucking hideous at the back! Why the fuck Honda keeps thinking that dividing the rear screen like that is appropriate is beyond me.

As for it being slow, it will be the fastest car I've ever owned, so as for that I think we'll manage.

I thought they're quite cool, will take a MASSIVE price reduction soon though, so probably wouldn't be buying one new.

I'll be honest, this is 80 % of the reason why I'm taking the car in to consideration...

But seriously, I like that it's an economical none diesel that does 0-60 in less than 13 sec (9.9 to be exact).
I like that it's a two seater as I fucking hate driving people around.
I like that it's a, somewhat, sporty coupé with a boot that's actually useable.
And I fucking love that interior. Lush seats, cool blue light and buttons everywhere. Just my thing.

It's supposed to be a very comfy drive, but I'll be the judge of that once I get in it.

Not kidding. My boss has a CRV new one and it smells of weird plastics and glues!

He had a service and got a Jazz and it stank of plastic. Horrid car.
