Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very sporty. You can feel the road and there is loads of grip! Handling is fantastic on the country roads, due to the fact its like a go-cart. The engine is pretty good aswell. The 1.6 has a good kick in it. Definately makes a massive change to a little 1.0.
What's it like to park?
Easy, its such a small car.
