the wifes mini was needing replaced, and a combination of holidaying in italy and seeing a few of these running around meant she wanted one.
i think she wanted a soft top with butterfly stickers all over it..............so i got this instead!

Good man!

We bought this last month. Great fun, buzzing around with an 875cc 2 cylinder engine and the roof off.

Look brilliant,are they better than a Mini? MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

I like it alot. The turbo kicks in about 3000rpm and the engine is very hapy to have its nuts revved off constantly.

Much more rear legroom that the Mini but TBH not the quality of finish. Much more scratchy plastic inside but i kind of like it more because its not a Mini if that makes sense? Its definitely got character. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

As bradders says, quality inside is not same as BMW built mini, and the bodywork is a bit more tinny. you sit on the floor on the mini which makes it feel more like a go cart, the mrs wanted a change but still something quirky ( I had found a nice deal on a convertible , but that didn't sway her, so plumped with the fiat.) I read a review that said all the range was £3k less than the comparible mini, can't help thinking they should have spent another thousand on the interior! It is smoother to drive than the mini, and ours has bags of power! All in all it is a great car for the money, and I think it looks better than the new mini, which looks awful compared to the 5 year old one we had.
Cheers
