...had good sleek styling, especially now with the new front nose design, but has always suffered from a drab interior. The interior has been left behind it’s very simple, boring and all in black, but very sturdy.
In summery the Saxo 1.1 is a very economical, nippy, stylish car with not a bad little engine in it, ideal for a little run about, that’s all nothing more and nothing less.
Not bat for only £5,995 is it?...

...This is such a fun car to drive ! When you buy a smart car you join a select club so, give a flash of lights and wave to others in the Smart club.
Everyone wants to ride in my little smartie pants, the first month I had it I actually did twice the milage I normally do just taking friends for a spin cos they have " always wanted to drive one "

As opposed the the Cupra, the R handles "as if on rails" with it's Agile Chassis Concept backed-up with switchable Electronic Stability Program and Traction Control. Fast sweeping bends or slower tight corners are taken with very little body roll or understeer, giving me a feeling of confidence in the R like no other car I have driven.
Huge disc's all round and Brembo 4 pot calipers stop the R effortlessly, the danger here being other cars behind with lesser stopping distances!

Bats, that is. I know, obvious joke, but it's true. This is no doubt the work of a crazed young director who thought he could do the next "The Birds," except with bats.
It, pardon the pun, didn't fly.
Bats is, at best, a mediocre work involving a... more
This review is about the DVD "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants". The movie is based on the book by Ann Brashares. Coincidentally, I found the trailer of this movie on the internet and I looked like a great movie. I bought the book then, because the more
