Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its smooth but gear change is suprising clunky 3rd is quite a though one to fine..clutch is light all the time accelerator is responsive torque is ok stay in 5th for most roundabouts..reverse easy to find easy to park as so small..cruising over 70 might require the radio to be turned up..gets quite noisy. at 80 its about 4k rpm so not the best gear ratios but this does make it pull easily from 70 to 90 in seconds.
What's it like to park?
As i say easy.
