Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great. The 1.6 VVT engine delivers plenty of power. Keep the revs above 4000rpm to give maximum acceleration through the range. Such a high revving engine can get tiresome on a long motorway journey, but this car is all about the B-roads.
What's it like to park?
Easy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all, solid as a rock.
What's most practical about your car?
Im 6ft 5" and ive still got miles of leg and head room.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Climate control is nice. Keyless entry is also a welcome feature. You do get alot of stuff as standard with the Sport.
