Anyone owned/ driven one? Suitable for a growing family? (dont look that big from the outside).

We've got an A2....they are bigger than you might think on the inside....the boot has a false floor very useful for shopping to avoid bags getting squashed

We have a new baby arriving so that will mean both rear seats taken up with car seats....it's probs gonna be tight but it runs on petrol vapour.....20,000 service intervals and it's basicaly like an appliance

We bought it as it was a good deal but we'll probs have to replace it soon for an Estate or 4x4 as space becomes tight

Flat 4x4

Buy a Skoda Octavia 4x4 estate next. Terrific value / Audi spec and build. I did.

I run a 1.4TDI as an every day car. It's got the Glass sliding roof. I can't speak highly enough of the little Devil.
'Very' well put together, it's like an expensive swiss watch.
Cracking car.

Ran one for 2000 miles in Italy a few years back. Cracking car. Well built v decent handling v economical and good to look at

Only downsides aside from initial costs were its a bit slow above 70mph. It gets affected badly by side winds. Ride is a little brittle on bumpy roads. And its got quite low ground clearance.

I would consider one if it werent so costly - much better than an A class tho'. Prob is that Honda Jazz is a similar concept but apart from cool factor and build its got more load space and is arguably as good.
