Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Replaced front shocks. In autumn the drain from front fills with leaves. If I forget to clear it, the rain can fill up and slosh into air intake on hard cornering and it makes front passenger carpet area a bit damp.
What's most practical about your car?
Cheap to run, 50+mpg on auto economy mode, cheap insurance etc.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
City parking. can park on a dime.
