Driving it
What's it like to drive?
wow! Very tamed when around town, but when on a A road or motorway then this 170bhp car comes to life. All gears have tons of pull and when cruising at 90mph on the motorway, you put your foot down and feel yourself get thrown back as it pulls all the way up to 140mph. The sporty suspension gives it a good feel, but then you can feel everything on the road!
What's it like to park?
Bit of a blind spot when reversing but apart from that fairly easy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Needed a new window regulator. And thanks to some idiot reversing into me i needed a new fan for the engine!
What's most practical about your car?
Just really easy to live with.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Automatic lights and window wipers.
