  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Excellent to drive, pretty nippy if you give it some beans. It's easy to drive and park and handles like a dream. It always make you smile when you hit a good bit of road. The suspension is not too hard and jarring, even with the state of the roads at the moment.The seats are a bit tight though for us folk with the larger behind. Can't blame the car for someone having a fat **** though

    What's it like to park?

    easy enough

    Easy manual roof and the fairly good boot size

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Remote boot release is helpful
