Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Horrific compared with an average car, but somehow managed to put a smile on my face even though it was sluggish and wallowy. Made an excellent towing vehicle.
What's it like to park?
Easy - just park in a space that's already occupied by a mini!

Living with it

If only it had some! The 4wd system I suppose.
