Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quick and you can point it quite hard into corners - just watch for the understeer if you really push it. More comfortable than a lot of sporty saloons !
What's it like to park?
OK - just don't try an dturn it around in a narrow lane !

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yep ! Wishbone, anti-roll bar, near side suspnesion, air bag warning light and the jacking point covers keep fall off !!!!
What's most practical about your car?
Nothing really - apart from it's four door. The boot opening is a bit small, it turns like an oil tanker and it drinks pertrol like I own BP - but I love it !!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The right hand pedal - it makes such a great sound, especially through the Dartford tunnel with the windows down !!
