Have you got an insurance quote for it yet. Although I suspect you are not a 17 year old boy. I guess you are a 22 year old woman insurance for the 1st year will be high.

Seems like they quite like it.

Do you realise how much money you lose on new cars? What Car reckon that it will be worth 35% of what you paid ie lose 65% over 3 years (36000 miles) so your £14k car will be worth less than £5k

Everything I've heard about them has been good - I like the look of them particularly the higher-spec models but the missus and daughter hate them and think they look "too square"

Lookat Parkers.co.uk at some reviews - the links are below.

It's nice to drive and feels completely different to the previous model C3 hatchback, feels far more solid, roomy too.
Good all round visibilty which is becoming rare in hatchbacks but better in these modern cute MPV's like Kia Soul and the C3pic, nice to get in and out of too with that high roof line and reasonable upright screen, excellent mirrors.
I like them, and as a motablilty car a very popular choice.

Family of 4 + Mum. Looking at you avatar, I take it you need boosters/childseats? I would pop down to your local dealer to see if 2 seats + Mum in the back will fit.

Parents bought the executive model and its a lovely car - was through motobility so their insurance, tax, servicing and tyre replacements all paid for over the 3 years (jammy geets). Lots of room in back for adults, huge boot yet smaller than the renault scenic it replaced. 1.6 diesel not the fastest engine in the world, but they get excellent MPG. What Car? much preferred it to the nissan note, toyota urban cruiser and the kia thingy.
