Friendly and helpful

Nice and quick. The seats are a little upright for my liking given that I am used to sitting back but I have found a fairly comfortable driving position. Just wish the seat could be tilted slightly towards you.

Unsurprisingly easy. the back window is a little small but there is no problem judging distance with the large mirrors

Not yet, only had it for 2 weeks

Small size, general nippyness in town and also surprisingly quick on the motorways

keyless entry and ignition. Once you work it out its brilliant.
