It is a treat to drive the seating position is quite high so you get a good view of the road ahead.

What's it like to park?

The rear parking sensors make it quite easy to park,the rear windscreen is quite high and without them you would not be able anything behind.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The only real problem that I had was that the battery that was in it was what they used to put in small fiestas and because mine was a ghia the battery kept going flat as I wasn`t doing much mileage.I bought a bosch silver 075 battery and it sorted the problem out.

What's most practical about your car?

I have quite severe back problems due to degenerative disc disease so getting in and out of the car used to be problematic but the seating position is much higher and it is like driving from my armchair.

Reversing sensors.
