Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Nice drive, Good Driving Position, Lacks grunt but economical on long drives. Surprisingly Comfy. A nasty blind spot where the windscreen pillar is on the right side makes it a big let down.
What's it like to park?
Nightmare to park, Almost impossible to steer. you dont get a very good turning circle and you will be forever doing 3 Point Turns. A short front end means you are forever stretching over the top of the wheel to make sure you are not hiting anything like a bollard.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Steering Rack failed 1 week after buying, costing £300 to repair. Clutch Pedal squeek, was driving me nuts and the fuel range indicator intermittenly would come and go for no reason.
What's most practical about your car?
The amount of space you get is amazing.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
None really, you dont seem to get alot in the Gagdet Department.
