Oh christ my mother used to have one of them. She only wanted a small car to get about in but jaysus even this yoke was to small for her. I wouldnt feel safe at all in one if there was a breeze out at all. Light as feck, better off going for the getz, mother has one of them now and loves it.

Absurdum

lowest common denominator motoring to be honest, makes public transport seem comfortable

no

buy a bike instead, or a proper car.

a fiesta zetec would wipe the arse of that

Mechanically they're simple and they're not known to be unreliable. They continued to be built pretty much unchanged till 2008.

They're not that hot to drive, safety is poor and they look awful. There are much better options out there.

Don't do it, the Atoz is crap. For owning a reliable small car on a shoestring budget, buy a mid to late '90s Nissan Micra with a long NCT

This line on honestJohn.co.uk about sums it up :

Looks like a wardrobe on castors

Fiesta or Micra. There's so much wrong with the Atoz you could write a book. The single worst car I've ever driven (thank fook it wasn't mine)

If you’re an African lady who likes to wear large head dresses when going you your church on a Sunday then you’ll find the headroom in the Atoz to be unbeatable but unfortunately, other than that, there’s little to recommend about it.

We don't do racism here, thanks.

My budget is around 2500 to 3000, I am looking for small car, engine 1. appearance doesn't matter but reliability is necessary as I am going to learn driving now.

you'd get a nice 02 Yaris for that money.

172 tax, cheap insurance, timing chain, safe, unbreakable.
Easy resale for good money too.
