It will not always be that easy, talking from experience :). My wife is already skeptical as:

1) Had to fix cats to MOT it. In addition, it was hard to find someone who would do it right. German MOT was 6 months old, couldn't even imagine they'd be finito when buying it.

2) She is taller than me, and hits easily the roof (190cm). The back seat is better, but guess does she ever want to drive it :)

But the main point is that I still like it. It's difficult to find a better alternative if you have low mileage/year, want a good driving experience and like loads of equipment, and don't want to pay too much for it.
