Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Good fun. It's a 1.4 TSI 160bhp - which is about as fast as my old Astra but with a far better ride.
What's it like to park?
You get used to it - visibility not the best but also not the worst.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The clutch pedal has almost "come loose", I can pull it upwards with my foot as well as depress it - but it makes no difference to gearchanges or driveability.
What's most practical about your car?
It's not! You don't buy one of these for fuel economy or ease of getting 3 baby seats in.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It has a good stereo. The TSI engine of course makes a good noise when you give it some stick. It also has a great interior.
