Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's a fairly big car and the 1.3 does struggle and needs to be revved to get the best out of it however it accelerates well mid range, nice car to drive on country roads although there is alot of body roll in the corners. Can just about handle hills in 3rd without changing down
What's it like to park?
Fairly easy to park, lots of visibility and power steering helps.
