  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Its a little slow, but the gears change "seamlessly" and they really do! No jerks, lurches or anything even under heavy acceleration. and once up to speed its happy too. There is also a bit too much wind noise but engine noise is non existent.

    What's it like to park?

    Its also a doddle to park as it doesn't have curves so the sides are easy to judge and the short bonnet makes dodging in and out of city traffic easy too!

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nothing whatsoever! Passed MOT, get 49 mpg which includes a daily commute along small roads (and im 17 so not the most gentle of drivers!).

    What's most practical about your car?

    The very large boot, so no need to fiddle around in the cold to fit things in and the huge load area with the seats folded!

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Hasn't really got many gadgets as is quite old! Probably the paddle shift buttons (as i would have liked to own a manual!).Sound quality and bass are also very good.
