Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It corners extremely well and is happy cruising on the motorway as you would expect of a small family saloon.
What's it like to park?
Rear visibility is poor if you have the bonus third passenger headrest in place. As I rarely carry more than one passenger, I keep it in the boot mostly. The unnecessary spoiler hinders rearward visibility somewhat.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing major. A couple of squeaky panels provide intermittent annoyance.
What's most practical about your car?
A cavernous saloon boot, which, although not my preferred body style has not proved a hinderance. I can get a 3 metre inflatable boat and outboard in the boot!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Front Foglights, air con and alloys are a suprise on car of this price.
