Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Very easy, it has a tight turning circle and a small and light steering wheel which makes three-point-turns etc. easier. Very good driving position. Pedals easy to operate and easy to control clutch.

What's it like to park?

Fairly easy but the rear window is fairly small. Sometimes have trouble getting the gear-stick into reverse but this may be because of the car's age.

Have you had any problems with the car?

What's most practical about your car?

The amount of space in the front, the storage holes under the dashboard.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Central information pod/tunnel, which means that you are not squinting through the steering wheel to read the dials.
