What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Feels nimble and solid, fun to drive all the time, never seems to lack power. Small engine and gearbox compliment each other and work very well together.

What's it like to park?

Very easy, becuase of it's size you can squeeze into tiny gaps. Steering can get a little heavy when parking.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Rear suspension arms needed replacing at 52K and were quite expensive, occasional strong smell of petrol that comes and goes.

What's most practical about your car?

Great car for 1 or 2 people but any more than that and it's pointless.
