    Instantly into top gear at exactly 30mph.

    I bought it to drive to work in Swansea, but decided to use the train instead coz I couldn't stand the excitement.

    Sluggish is not the word. I'm so used to a 2.0L and the 2.8L I'm over revving the poor soul.

    I really do need to get my 72 Austin 1800 on the road and retire the Toyota.

    I live in a city centre, clientco is in Paddington, Mrs lives in Angel so the only time I use a car is to play golf once a week so can't justify an expensive car, I drive a 2008 ford focus with 110k on the clock.

    Nevermind the Aygo - try having a '96 Corolla as your daily driver! Missus wanted a Jeep and to afford that I had to exchange in my trusty Primera and my E280.

    The seller had very little pity for me and so handed over the keys to a L reg Corolla as part of the deal.

    If you are seriously telling me you want to drive a crappy little toyota instead of some of those Jags then you need to need to hand your contractor badge in with Kenty
    Correct.

    Bigger cars depreciate quicker as there is greater demand for small cars because of the cheapness to run/insure by younger drivers.

    This was a man who wanted to buy a Daihatsu Copen. I think that proves the prosecutions case.
