What's it like to drive?

This car is a real pleasure to drive, coming from a ka. The car feels planted on the road and corners very flat which gives you confidence as the driver. Steering provides tonnes of feedback which adds to the driving pleasure as you feel connected to the car. Just let loose round some twisties and you'll know why people rave about this cars handling so much. Also, having taken a 600 mile round trip to Edinburgh, it can do long motorway journeys in pretty decent comfort. Only negative is the car does not idle, it snarls at about 3500rpm at around 77mph as it is a racey gear setup and not meant for motorway cruising. Simple to cure, just turn the radio uP. All in all though a fantastic car to drive...period.

It's a hatchback.
