Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Pretty slow, 75 bhp. Won't do more than indicated 105-110 on the flat. Quite noisy on the motorway doing 4200 rpm at 80 mph. One good thing about it was that I was able to get high 50's MPG by driving it on the motorway at 50/55 mph.
What's it like to park?
Easy, although rear screen isn't flat like most hatchbacks.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Been a total money pit. 1 year after buying it the suspension and exhaust needed £1k of work doing to it. Every time it needed an MOT there was a few £100 of work that needed doing to it, final straw was the head gasket blew at 115 k miles putting it beyond economic repair. Air conditioning died too.
What's most practical about your car?
All round electric windows, remote locking and folding rear seats.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Half leather seats.
