Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It keeps nice and flat in the bends, although if the tyre pressure is a few psi either way it feels bumpy and if lower the steering is a little wooly and front end grip isnt fantastic. It has suprising power and a nice amount of torque, you can stay in third at the slowest of speeds with no problems. nice driving position.
What's it like to park?
suprisingly good, the turning circle is excellent.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
em, none really.
