Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Considering yesterday my clutch snapped off and my car had to be towed away. These repairs I am still waiting to hear if I will be asked to pay for it or if this is a bigger issue and my warranty company will pay. I love this car. It is the best car I have owned and my third car. It handles extremely well and is great fun to drive. The steering is efficient and responsive and light. I've driven other cars and felt that I was going to come of the road in certain spots. In this I have not felt that at all. I have clear visibility looking forward but not so much looking behind. Nipping through town and out in to the countryside is as an enjoyable drive with the car coping well and keeping up with friends cars when we are in convoy.
What's it like to park?
Easy. If you can park you can park this. Once you are used to the lack of substantial rear visibility you will find it fairly easy to park this car.
