Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great on the road, handles well round corners ( when you have good tyres) Responsive, although at times can feel a little lacking in power. Motorway driving can feel a bit nosiy as engine sits at a relative high RPM. Car should have been given a 6th gear and this would have fixed that. Also lack on heated front screen is a pain in the winter. Expect around 36-38MPG, not great compared to other 1.6 engines I have had. Had to trade in after 10months as fuel costs too high for higher mileage. But still a fun car to drive.
What's it like to park?
Easy, push have parking sensors so makes it even easier.
