Good review, thanks for posting it. I too forgot to order a spare wheel, but my dealer said he would sort something out though it might take a few months. I suspect he'll order a spare along with someone else's order....the tyres might well be a different brand but a least it will be a spare, better than a can of sealant!

Hello whassup I appreciate your comments ... thanks for telling me about how you also forgot to order a spare wheel and how you've gone about aquiring one I shall ask my dealer too !I like the insurance of a spare wheel to use, but can't remember the last time I had a flat (touch-wood) so maybe nowadays a can of sealant isn't such a bad idea,much lighter than a spare ! giving better mpg and responsiveness...I'm telling myself while not having one ...

Great Review

Interesting to see just how eager the 75 bhp version is. Those extra horses transform this car into a real beasty !! My 'Take up!' is a keen drive and great fun, handles really well and is fabulous value.

What is that noise at 2:51 on the video ?? Made me jump ! Surely it's not wheel spin at around 70mph !!!

I find it hard to understand what is being said, the combination of an Irish accent and poor sound quality sadly.

It sounded like a skid, as if someone had skidded to a halt to avoid hitting the reviewer perhaps.

And I suppose it leaves a little bit more luggage space in the spare wheel well!


My main concerns were that, as far as I know, a sealant filled tyre isn't puncture repairable, plus you don't get a jack if you don't buy a spare wheel. However I haven't had a puncture for quite a while, though just by saying that ............!
