Debating on whether or not to use the Beat daily or not? Just wanted to see how many of you do and how you find it against normal sized cars?
I think the furthest I've driven the Beat was to Trax and back 2 years ago was ok be fraught due to me having crap small mirrors but managed a week to work and back before it broke and it went ok, don't know why I am having these concerns really.

I use my Mira daily to get to and from work (about 5 miles each way). It's what I use as my main form of transport so it covers me driving around anywhere locally, to things further away. Recently, I've been to Birmingham a few times for drifting events (about an hour away), Plymouth (around 3 hours away) and Manchester (supposed to take just over 2 hours, but took over 5 due to bank holiday traffic). It cheap to run and insure, keeps up with everything else on the motorway and I always enjoy driving it. In a normal week, I fill it right up to the brim with Shell V-Power fuel, costing me on average around £22. And at that price, I can't really complain!

I used to use my keis daily but my work required sumt a bit bigger fro the tools n ladders...plus sitting at 60mph or screaming the engine to go faster on motorways wasn't ideal as my work varies and can have journeys to work over 100miles in some cases (>_<) lol

I use my Copen daily for work (about 20 miles) and have travelled quite a lot on motorways without any problems.
I work with children who don't always want to come to school, it's surprising how they change their minds when a lift in my car is on offer

sounds like everyone is having some fun Well I do a 50 mile round trip for work every day mainly dual carriage way and small amount of twisties, the Beat to be fair does go well just other road users I'm worries about I guess, the approach of keep distance and be careful it is I guess
