Driving it
What's it like to drive?
very nice! handles better than most cars i've driven, including my brother in laws 03 plate Audi A4 Cabriolet! Has more power then 90% of 2.0L engines out there, it is very quick for a 2.0L.
What's it like to park?
steering is light so no problems here, although you can't really see the rear wheels from the wing mirrors so you have to look at the body work to judge, not really a big problem.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
One of the CV joints was worn so had that replaced, the air-con condensor was also leaking so got that replaced too. Nothing major for a 9yr old car with 83K on the clock.
What's most practical about your car?
Where to start... It has loads of space in the boot and in the back, it's 5 doors, has plenty of power on the road too!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
air-con helps when it's scorching hot.
