  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Smooth ride, that becomes firm with speed and rough roads. Very easy to weave in and out of traffic. When you first drive the car, its frightening, as its so nippy from a start position. I have to say it certainly doesn't drive like the Austin Metro I used to have(masocists will get enjoyment here).

    What's it like to park?

    I haven't crashed it into anything yet, so I'd have to say its insanely easy

    Nothing major, until recently, which is why I'm parting company with it. Its just not worth repairing.

    What's most practical about your car?

    It was so cheap to run

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Electric Windows. You don't have to be an executive to have em!
