    Mine is yellow and shouts, 'Look at me, i feel alive!'

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Lovely. First time I got into it, I was a little ruffled when I got onto a dual carraigeway, put my foot down and other road users came past me! But I had been used to a 1.1 XL 106 to be fair. However, once wound up she will happily sit at 80 all the way!

    What's it like to park?

    I still have not fully mastered this one yet. The bonnet is tiny, but falls away and you cannot clearly judge where it is. The back makes it very easy to park and it turns on a sixpence making tight spaces a breeze.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nothing.

    What's most practical about your car?

    The seating position. The seat moves and so does the steering column meaning a very accurate and comfy position for just about any size and shape (I am NOT little!)

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The central electronic locking. I often have an arm full and you only need a finger to unlock this baby!
