Driving it

5 out of 5

What's it like to drive?
The drivers seat feels a little high, not very comfortable for drivers with shorter legs. not the fastest thing around but goes all day on the motorway at 70mph. tends to be noisy from the outside, no problems inside.

What's it like to park?
Turning circle surprisingly poor for a small vehicle but light steering makes parking painless.
