  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It has a sluggish start but goes quickly to top gears ... the gearchange is very obvious and you do need to get used to that particular aspect of the car, before starting to critise it...

    What's it like to park?

    Very convenient and comfortable, if the reverse gear does not leave you high and dry when you need it the most...

    None.. it is a basic but complete car with our any frills.
