Great

* It's staggeringly cheap - Harrods, here we come!
* Distinctive styling helps it stand out in a crowd
* Even basic models have useful extras such as reversing sensors

Gripes

* The engine is loud, lazy and doesn't like doing what it's told
* Space is in very short supply, so travel light - and alone
* You'll only feel comfy if you're a textbook size 10

It's worth paying for the top model if you want decent accessories
