On the flat very nippy, feels like you have power to spare. But the small 1000cc engine works hard up most hills.
What's it like to park?
Very easy, it's small to begin with, and finding a space to park were others have had to go on by, is no problem for the Hyundai Amica, the power steering making light work of a confined space.
