So so easy, short overhangs, small wheel-base, excellent vision all around, excellent turning circle all make it easy as breathing.

Yes, the rear view mirror fell off when i adjusted it, and the drivers lock occassionally jams but it just takes a wiggle of the key and it frees up.

Its easy to park, can fit it nearly anywhere and it goes forever on not a lot of fuel.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cd player, its about the only accessory on the basic model.
