Driving it
What's it like to drive?
If you want a great car to drive this isnt it. The engine only delivers 90BHP which is probably too small for a car of this size and as such it feels sluggish. Theres a fair bit of engine noise when motorway driving. If you can get over these minor niggles its a frugal reliable car which is why we bought it.
What's it like to park?
no problems good visibility.
