I'm actually looking forward to having a car which looks like a bathtub
and has a small engine!

Nah, bathtub = Hyundai Accent. I'm sure that if you unscrew the aerial

Yargh, it's worse than both of those, it's a New Beetle Convertible.

Anyway, Figaros don't look like bathtubs, they look like marshmallows.

Ho yus. Truly a Japanese car. And it no longer looks silly any more now
the new Micra is out.

In my budget.
Seats 4.
Well made.
Comfortable.
Local dealer with good reputation.
I've driven one and liked the vaguely Espace like dash/seating position.
Very well designed roof.
Glass rear window.
Looks nice (IMO) - not 'Phwoar' nice, but 'At least someone made an
effort' nice, unlike the Megane CC, 307 CC, 206 CC (oh, yeah, it's also
not French, which is a bonus - I still like Citroens, but the Pluriel is
silly).
Oh, and I happen to like it.

Why I got a 1.6 is purely financial, however. 2.0 was over my budget by
a manageable, but still 'noticeable' amount. 1.6 was under by twice
that. I hope it isn't too slow, but I'm not expecting much of it.

A couple of years ago, I used to drive work's brand new Espace regularly -
and it was HORRENDOUS !

What, the visibility? Admittedly I'm not one who feels the need to drive
perfectly normal cars in the Boy Racer "I'm gonna look out the sunroof
to drive" position, but still - I think you're the first person I've
heard of who didn't like the Espace's driving position. Pedals aren't
badly offset, wheel has some adjustment IIRC, and you can see
everything. Only flaw was the gearshift, but the Beetle has a
well-placed one.

I think X1/9s are comfortable, so I'm probably odd.
