Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's as I expected, drives like a milk float. The 1.6 engine is lively at low revs but is totally gutless when pushed. It's a real screamer on the motorway at 4000rpm at 70mph, it is however more economical than I imagined giving an average of 35mpg.
What's it like to park?
It's not too bad to park given it's size.

Living with it
