Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very nice for the age of the car. Flat and hard cornering with a slight tendancy to understeer. Fabulous on snow as no abs and esp to get in the way. Enough power, but not madly fast.
What's it like to park?
Easiest car in the world to park. Perfect visibility, tight turning circle and small size.

Living with it

Yes. New exhaust (£170), New front brake calipers and disks, welding on sills, steering lock wore out. Electric windows had off days as well.
What's most practical about your car?
Seats 5 with a decent size boot and has enough power to get where you want to go.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Doesn't have many gadgets, I would have to say the front seats which are the best I have ever sat in.
