Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It drives like nothing I've ever driven before. The steering, gear change, brakes and clutch are heavy and it's really sporty. The grip always amazes me. The engine has to be worked hard but it sounds fantastic when you do.
What's it like to park?
It's difficult to see out of the back and sides but I suppose all cars of this type are.

Living with it

Not yet, only had it a week though...
What's most practical about your car?
The suicide doors are ace.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
BOSE 9-speaker stereo sounds brilliant, although not as good as the engine when you're red-lining it!
