Driving it
What's it like to drive?
light steering thats strange at first but after a while you wonder why every other car doesnt handle like it,quick turn in, responsive brakes and very good power after 5000 rpm. feels alot bigger than a 1.6.
What's it like to park?
well the wing mirrors tend too leave a big bling spot and the turning circle is poor for a car of this size, soo not the easiest to park.
