Great

* Cute looks demand a cuddle
* It's very feminine – so your bloke is unlikely to nick it
* Quality shines through everywhere

Gripes

* Looks much better than it goes – decidedly so-so on the road
* Fashion over function: there's a vase but the back is cramped
* Running costs will eat into your henna/beads/sandal budget
DriveDrive rating - 2 out of 5 stars
Certainly not as much fun as Herbie's

Only enough room for two adults, two nippers and a sunflower
