Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I use it mainly for commuting, most of which is on the motor way but some on country lanes and inner city. The Pluriel cruises happily at 70 mph but is not the most exciting drive on country lanes. It is a competent city car.
What's it like to park?
Parking is not the greatest fun with limited rear visibility and a turning circle like a tank. The steering is light.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Over the first 12 month I had trouble with the fuel injectors occasionally leaking. Before the end of the warranty this got fixed and has not been a problem since.
What's most practical about your car?
Easy to drive and extremely economical. The roof opens easily and in stages.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The leather kit is well worth its money.
