What's it like to drive?

Pretty quick when you want it to be, was my first sports car but handles well in the bends, minimal body roll and always has grip. Always wanted that little bit of straight line pace though...

What's it like to park?

Never had any problems, rear arches are widest point of body, going through tight gaps was always a slight concern.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Bulletproof reliability, when sold it had a 120k on the clock, covered 33k during my ownership. Only thing replaced were a new set of alloys as I hit a pothole and damaged the old ones. Kept it serviced and ran beautifully.

What's most practical about your car?

Surprising amount of space with the seat down, can pack a lot of ikea flat pack furniture in it :).

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Precise 5 speed box and Toyota White Paint. Best colour for these hands down.
