Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Terribly awful. Underpowered, huge body roll on corners, but I guess that's not what you buy it for. It is very economical when driven sensibly!
What's it like to park?
Fine. It's actually not a huge car for the interior space you get.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes, plenty of times. Electrics are always an issue. Problems with electronic immobiliser, dashboard seems to randomly cut out, sometimes it randomly cut out whilst driving.
What's most practical about your car?
It is massive inside, you can seat three adults comfortably in the back, the boot is very large and you can put all the seats down to ferry around large amounts of stuff. Great for moving or buying second hand furniture.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Nothing, there is not even a rev counter on the car.
