Dont think, just do it! Admittedly mine went clonk after 55 miles and I haven't seen it since but its coming back tomorrow with a few added bits in compensation and it feels like christmas all over again.

Sure none of us can achieve 72mpg and they're not the fastest hot hatch on the planet but they look great, handle great and they don't even mind piling on the miles down the motorway. Residual values aren't what they used to be and the lead time is only 5 weeks if you phone around but demand for economical quality cars is only going to increase so the Dooper has got to be a good investment.

Go and take a Fiat 500 diesel for a blast you wont need any more justification for a Dooper after that - even James May (Mr Slow) on Top Gear thought the Fiat wasn't up to much.
