Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It is comfortable to drive. For a small car it copes very well on the motorways owing to the long gearing in fifth. No problem holding an 80mph cruise speed, changing down to fourth only for steep inclines. It is also fairly quiet at speed with Minimal wind noise. Around town I would say the gearing is a touch too high but I would rather have that trade-off for the more relaxed high speed cruising ability.
What's it like to park?
Easy to park. Power steering and a tight turning circle see to that.
