Hi all, Has anyone heard anything about this car that would put you off purchasing it? (e.g. major flaws with the car, mpg nowhere near accurate) On the flip side, does anyone own one and love it?

If I report an accident for info purposes only, will affect my ins premium?
I had a "small" accident over the weekend with someone (where I was at fault). It's more of a scuffing than anything else, my car's probably come off a little worse than his - it was hardly visible.
