Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its the best thing a I have ever purchased. I dont think I will ever own another model of car! Really responsive and the VVTi offers very smooth acceleration wether in 2nd or 5th. Very good stearing response even if a little light over 70mph and in high wind. Stiff suspension is no more than what I expected from a sports coupe but has very comfy seats (I went for cloth seats not leather). The heater is brilliant and it didnt ruffle my mums hair up on the motorway. Its just a joy and plesure to own and drive.
What's it like to park?
With the hood up it abit hard to see the large blind spots in both left and right cases so I park at bottom of car park and drive into the space. Hood down, its like reversing a cloud. Very nimble, small and compact and once you get used to the little boot/engine compartment its like any other car.

What's most practical about your car?
The heater is awesome so i can have it down in winter! The `cubby` hole behind the seats can fit a full weeks shopping in!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Very easy folding roof and it has a heated, glass rear window!
