What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Goes like a bat out of hell. With VVTI engine, you get good MPG yet if u need to, it can give u the juice when u pressed down hard (especially from start or over-taking on M-way).

What's it like to park?

Although the rear view is a bit restricted, after couple of days, u get used to it and never had problem parking. I live in London so parking is always tight!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Absolutely a delight. Nothing goes wrong - which is a first for me. Always had problems with other makes - VW, Ford, Rover

What's most practical about your car?

The hatch back, with the rear seats folded down, is surprisingly LARGE. Largest load managed to carry was a 42" TV with its stand.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Leather and sunroof.
