Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Not the fastest car in the world but with a bit of tinkering the torque can be easily increased from the standard 110 lb/ft to a more healthy 140 which means that it will actually pull when going uphill - standard you have to change down a gear (or two)
What's it like to park?
Easy, good visibility, high sidewalls on tyres so kerbing the steel wheels isn't going to happen
