Just back from paradise.   Had problem with lock on Cicar punto on 3rd day as key would not go in lock.  Was no problem when opened car with key at supermarket or any time before.  When got to apartment took stuff out boot and the key would not go in lock.   Called Cicar and arranged to take car back next morning.
At Corry harbour office lady was very nice and offered me an almost new Corsa.   Well this turned out to be a boy racer car.   Just what I need for my street cred.   Bright red with black roof and black alloys with wide low profile tyres and fancy embessel on dials and bucket seats.   Just what you want for some of the track to beaches.
Luckily could not be bothered exploring this holiday so not a problem.   Not the ideal car for this island and when it came to running it would not pull the skin off a rice pudding.  So for those that got stuck behind a red boy racer Corsa, sorry!!!

Sounds like it was the 'Limited Edition' which boasts a 1.2 engine. My youngest has one, (in bright banana yellow really and truly!) and the suspension is as hard as nails. It certainly wouldn't pull a soldier off your sister. Unlucky!

€180 for two weeks for us.   No good off road and the ride is hard.   Yes economical as you cannot get it to go fast.  The punto had at first,  would knock spots off it.   But does look the part.  Hope they cleaned it after the change of colour!   And they cleaned out the well!!! from the back seat.
