What does this car say about you?

Unique, (I guess)

What was the dealer like?

Excellent, friendly and most importantly, honest

What's it like to drive?

In full auto mode it is slightly jerky but that said I have never driven a car which has made me smile so much or so often. Real drivers car which needs to be worked. Very different from a lot of modern cars which seem an unattached experience

Very easy despite hampered rear vision

Not at all. Only owned the car for three months but it has been driven every day and nothing to report so far (fingers crossed)

This is not a car for practical use!! Although it has surprised me with the amount of storage available for the type of car
