    What's it like to drive?

    Good fun and easy to drive. It's surprisingly quick actually and can keep up with the best of them. Although it does get quite noisy above 70mph. The small size and low position of the car make it a joy to handle and fun to chuck around winding country lanes.

    What's it like to park?

    Easy, due to it's small size and generally good visibility.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Have had to replace the clutch which went a few months after purchase but other than that no.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Probably the size of the car which makes it an absolute cinch to park and easy to squeeze through the tightest of gaps.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The stereo is pretty good with mp3 input as standard. Electric windows. Remote locking. Air-con. All good.
