Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fantastic thirsty beast! CVT gearbox is a joy when it works. Car isn't a quatro as listed but road holding is great.

Perfect, rear sensors are great, but amazed that a 03 plate type Micra has stealth technology and it reversed straight into it! clearly not my fault lol.
