Driving it
What's it like to drive?
a pleasure! decent power combined with good handling makes it fun. the car is very easy to drive nice, power steering is just right. you get alot of feedback from wheel. clutch pedal is light. seats are supportive and long journeys are a breeze.

pretty good, nothing special though.

Living with it

nothing really (touch wood). two new front tyes and tracking was out. the car has now done 31k miles. brought it at 22k miles.
What's most practical about your car?
good boot space compared to similar cars.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
colour coded interior looks great. the exterior styling is spot on, not over the top but enough to show it apart from no sporty models.
