Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Having been a driver for 22 years, it is nice to get in the drive without the need for a cushion for the extra height. My previous car was a 2 litre with 24 valves I have noticed the difference in pulling of and that the gear changing is much slower. I am however happy to poodle along in my 1.4 while having a fwe more pounds in my pocket with the prices of running a car these days. I also feel that I am making a difference to the environment with lower emission levels.
What's it like to park?
I have not encountered any problems so far.

I have only had my car for three weeks, but I took it on a run to Scotland and there is a constant rattling in the pssenger door when traveeling at speed.
What's most practical about your car?
The boot space is surprisingly large for such a small car.It is also efficient to run.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I find the Durashift a little quirky.
