Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Right, I have been thrashing this car around for the past 4 months ever since I got told it would be written off (to get my moneys worth!). I have found the handling to be good (even on standard tyres) although driving in the wet seems veryy dangerous - no ABS and a lack of grip on damp roads doesn't help!
What's it like to park?
Even though my power steering doesnt work I find it incredibly easy to park, good visibility all round and its easy to define the parameters of the car. Even the worst parkers would find it easy!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this car since I brought it 5 months ago, except I have blown a hole in the back box of the exhaust, havent bothered to replace it though as it runs fine (if a little loud!)
What's most practical about your car?
For a car of its size it is very practical, largeish boot and pleanty of room for 6'5" man such as myself to fit in!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It has no gadgets!
