    Fun yet practical.

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Lovely, for a 1.8 it feels fast (maybe as it is very close to the ground). Motorway driving is the best part, comfortably sits at a decent speed. Was worried about fuel consumption but it is actually very good!

    What's it like to park?

    Takes a bit of getting used to. Has quite a long bonnet but after a few weeks its easy. Reverse parking is easier.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    No. Passed last MOT with no advisorys.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Has a huge boot, seats fold down so you can get a lot in eg. multiple bikes.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Double DIN slot for entertainment system. Also electric mirrors are useful.
