Yes

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Well i owned a Vxr for two years so this is no frills. The ride is ok as is the handling. It's a little wallowy in the bends at speed. The lack of power requires you to keep it on the turbo if you want to get anywhere otherwise take your time and save ££. Brakes aren't bad, slam on hard though and the rear becomes light due to all the braking power being at the front.
What's it like to park?
Easy enough, it's fairly small. Hasn't got a big turning circle though.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No - fingers crossed.
What's most practical about your car?
The sheer amount of storage in terms of the door pockets, under the passenger seat and the amount of cup holders.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control is a god send for loads of motorway driving. Aux socket for the iPod. EcoFlex gear change indicator to help save fuel.
