Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Absolutely great slot car like road holding and engine torque for A road fun & overtaking. Easy around town. Smooth & quiet on motorway. Other than on start up the engine doesnt sound like a diesel. Averaged 45mpg overall, 42mpg short trips, 50mpg on long runs and 55mpg if drive like a vicar.
What's it like to park?
Not as bad as other reviews would lead to believe - its a short car but also supprisingly wide so watch door opening room. large rear pillar causes a bit of a reversing blind spot but using rear view mirrors rather than head turning sorts this.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Less than 1000 miles in so nothing yet. Comes with good history and cover so not anticipating anything. Light bulbs need an upgrade to stronger lumens, otherwise everything is singing in key.
What's most practical about your car?
Loving in rural Scotland the 4WD has already been well tested in wet & snow.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
4WD and swithcable ESP / ASR for snow and also if want a bit of edgier 'spoiler up' driving fun on twisting A roads.
