Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I, at times, drive hard (which makes it even more impressive that nothing has ever gone wrong), It is a true pleasure to drive, very light, very predictable. For a small car (although loud) its supprisingly good on the motorway, a bit slow at overtaking acceleration but good at pulling out of corners due to its light weight.
What's it like to park?
average, peugeots are better but fords are worse.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
In the 2 years I have owned this car I have done 40,000 miles (now at 70K) and nothing at all has gone wrong with it. The only thing I have replaced is the exhaust, which is apparently a bit of a weakness.
What's most practical about your car?
The reliability, It spends 1 day a year in the garage for a service and MOT and thats it.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Not the car to buy if you like accessories, sterio is alright.
