Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Good points: Engine has loads of power. Brakes are good. Bad points: Steering is vague and lacks feel. Suspension does not cope with fast driving. All in a relaxed cruiser.
What's it like to park?
Find a big space...the car is huge! But then...the car is cheap, so if you dent it...who cares!
