Hello All!
I've got some more girly questions to add to these techy ones about engines and so on...
Like: Is it economical. How is it for reliability? How difficult/expensive is it to find spares (a bit easier now I have found this website, I think! )
My Renault 5 (which i adored) expired the other week, and I saw a beat in Autotrader and instantly fell in love. At the moment I am also having a look at Smart Cars, and am looking for a few personal perspectives on the Beat to decide which I should go for.
The sort of driving I would be doing would be, zipping around Guildford occasionally during the week, but some longer trips up/down the M1 some weekends. Does anyone have an objective opinion on whether the car would 'like' that sort of treatment, because the engine is quite small, isn't it....(though the same, i spose, could be argued about the Smart..)?
Oh, another question (and probably a daft one - sorry!) does it have any luggage space at all? The engine's in the rear, isn't it? Or am I just imagining that! And can you fit a bike rack on it?
I know some of these questions are probably idiotic, but I don't know that much about cars - just that I love the look of this one! Which, by itself, isn't really a good enough reason to buy the car I guess (though i am practically drooling over the For Sale forum!) - hence the attempt at research!
