alright

What's it like to drive?

Great!! When you get hold of it and really push it, it grips like my old e30 325i sport, and lift oversteer on tap!! Traction control is intrusive at times but has saved my life on more occasions i care to remember!! Engine is punchy when u change late but there is often a flat spot of power which is annoying. 6peed box is great!! makes poodling around town easy and means you can do 120mph on the motorway (therotically!!) City button is a horrible invention-its dangerous if used for anything other than parking-when used while driving steering is vauge and patchy. Could do with a little more steering feel, but weights up when pushed to its limits. Brakes are AMAZING!!! the abs together with the traction control and the disks all round stop the car on tap-ive done 90-0 quickly!!

What's it like to park?

Easy-stupidly easy with the city button!!

Have you had any problems with the car?

yeah!! electrical faults like you wouldnt believe!!

What's most practical about your car?

boot
