    What's it like to drive?

    The reviews regards this cars and its performance are very untrue, although may be depending what you like. Acceleration when pulling away and whilst crusing is very very very disappointing, feels a long way off 180 bhp, feels much slower than a mondeo 2.0 tdci. Sporty drive I have heard mentioned many times no idea what people are talking about- yes sporty compared to a P plate corsa.

    What's it like to park?

    No issues with parking - unsure why this question is asked - we all passed are driving tests did'nt we.
