Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I find it a bit uneconomical with suspension set for more comfort than sport although it still handles more than adequate should you want a bit of fun. I have 1.4 petrol engine which is now opening up a bit & is quite sporty for what the car is. Fuel consumption so far 30-32 around town, Vauxhall say 39mpg ???
What's it like to park?
It's very easy to park thanks to light steering, good visibility, could do with parking sensor's though.

What's most practical about your car?
Drives like big car, very roomy, light steering & good gear ratio' s make it good about town also nice comfy ride.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I suppose the air con coz when you are stuck in traffic in summer I think it's great.
