Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Drives very well, plenty of power from the punchy 1.6 engine when required but not noisy. Gear changes & steering all smooth as silk. It will sit happily at 70mph on the motorway for long periods of time.
What's it like to park?
Despite being a family hatchback it's very easy to park even in tight spaces. The windows are nice and large making visibility excellent.
