Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The handling is very pleasant and positive and its a doddle to park, the ride quality though is terrible it crashes over bumps and u feel every little mark on the rode. The perfomance is also very poor the engine just struggles to move the car unless u give it loads of revs and then it just screams at you. I also only achieve around 35mpg which is very poor. Its a refined motorway cruiser though.
What's it like to park?
Very easy with light steering and quite a raised driving position so you can see everything nicely.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes a number of things. The whole electrical system on the car seems to have a mind of its own and the fuel injection system has never been right on the car either. Parts are incredibly expensive as i found out when i caught my drivers mirror. At least it has five year warranty and 3 years free servicing.
What's most practical about your car?
For a small car the passenger space is fantastic beating my mazda xudos.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Nothing particularly revolutionary on it although high level of standard equipment which included aircon.
