What's it like to drive?

Suprisingly good. When it was delievered i did groan a bit. But the handling is on par with the Fiesta ST I used to own. I was quite aggresive on the way home, through the counrty lanes, and it was very confident and sure footed. Very surprised. Steering is very precise. I was really surprised by this car. The GT must be awesome.

What's it like to park?

Cont... Downside? The infotainment system is way too complex. Everything is done from the console, and having to dig down to find the fan controls and adjust fan speed and temperature makes for a lot of time with your eyes off the road. I prefer tactile controls - no need to take my eyes off the road. Sat Nav is pretty run of the mill. It had no problem letting me drive straight into giant traffic jams. Nippy too. Acceleration is surprisingly good. I had no problems in city or Motorway trafffic. Economy is excellent I thought. Chester > Birmingham > London > Chester = £35 And I definitely do not drive like a granny. 10/10 would rent again.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No, perfect condition.

What's most practical about your car?

4 door hatchback, it's just practical.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

USB and Aux Ports. Bluetooth tethering.
