Lovely, refined, quiet, smooth, Sounds like a diesel when you rev it but cannot even hear the engine at idle. Is quieter on the motorway than my old 1.6 megane. It is such a solid, well-made car, the interior is so well put together, you just know it is a car that will last years without a fault.

Easy, has big windows all round and the glass tailgate. Nice light clutch and low biting point.

No

What's most practical about your car?

The big boot for such a small car, and masses of room up front.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The lovely metallic dark blue paintwork. It changes colour in the light.
