Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Heavy clutch but prob still newish, car has only done 15500 miles. Lovely engaging drive, great performance, slightly sluggish from low revs but gets going when you want it to and also still deliver good MPG when driving sensibly. Easy drive on motorway with 6th gear and cruise control.
What's it like to park?
Small rear window but rear sensors and dash display make it easier. Big wing mirrors help also.

5 Doors. Can take 4 adults and a car seat with ease but not for to long a journey. Great performance with good MPG.
