The Zed is a great comfortable car on the commute (I don't use mine anymore for that but that's to keep the milage down etc)
Things to think about, the clutch is heavier than a 'normal' car which could be a problem in stop start traffic but I doubt it unless you have trouble holding your weight walking!
MPG and running costs are much less than I budgeted for when I bought it, although with the increase in pertol prices it is getting dearer. Worth every penny though! The service interval is 9k which is reasonable. It has an 80 litre tank so it'll go for a while - hurts when you fill it though!
Very easy to live with, you can take it on weekends away etc with no probs. Honestly, the only unpractical thing about it is the fact it has 2 seats but that has never bothered me!
