Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I would have preferred the diesel option, but the 1.4 is not as underpowered as the reviews would suggest, mine will charge happily up and down the motorway and has a fir bit of torque.
What's it like to park?
A doddle with the city steer, rear view is a bit obstructed, but the wing mirrors make up for that.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
A few minor glitches - the windscreen mists up if it rains - although they have found no fault and the gearbox has been very `sticky`
What's most practical about your car?
city steering function and general size of the car.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
blue and me - much better than I anticipated!
