Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Underpowered and no match for most other cars. Can move with relative haste if not burdened with passengers. Oversteer and body roll comes in abundance. Great for cities, not so great for the motorway.
What's it like to park?
Easy peasy.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Contacts on the starter motor need attention every 6 months or so, power steering can cut out randomly and loose panel by the steering wheel comes off under heavy breaking.
What's most practical about your car?
It's size. Small outside so I can put it anywhere but it is surprising spacious inside.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Recirculate air lever feels chunky and manly, not a little button like on most other cars. That is all.
