Everyone says they like the look of the car and that its very sporty, most of them want to drive it.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very easy to drive through towns due to the clutch pedal being extremely light. Motorway is really easy to drive along, quiet engine noise but wind and road noise is fairly loud, but engine can sit at any speed or pull enough to overtake. Although engine does feel a bit strangled. But great fun to chuck into corners!
What's it like to park?
Very easy to park due to the car being small, and the car came with rear parking sensors. And quick and easy to steer into spaces due to very light power steering. Haven't driven anything with lighter steering!
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Currently the car is still in the garage after 2 weeks due to needing a new gearbox and the car has only done 34k miles! Also fuel lights are playing up but is only a minor thing, and hasn't affected fuel useage.
What's most practical about your car?
For me the most practical thing is the front seat space, being 6ft3 I find it hard to fit in comfortably with most cars, but in the C2 I have loads of headroom and seats are wide enough for me to fit in.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Car came with the optional sport body kit which I really like the look of and is fairly rare, and for me I love the white wheels as they really stand out, but some might find vulgare.
