Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Smooth, quick, but a little harsh over the bumpy / pot holed roads. Quite powerfull when required.
What's it like to park?
A real pain to park, high back, flared arches and no rear parking sensors. These are also well known for VERY poor turning cicles, so you look a prat doing a 50-point turn in the middle of the road

Living with it

Only wear and tear, drop links, brake pads, wishbones
What's most practical about your car?
The MPG is amazing, 42-45 around the houses or up to 55mpg on a run. The boot is a great size too.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The Dolby Pro-Logic CD System, sounds like a boy racers car with massive subs in! Heated leather is nice in the winter
