Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its great :) just like a wee go-kart :) kinda smooth, but quite noisy when on the motorway.
What's it like to park?
Its easy when you have the roof down while trying to reverse park, but its hard when roof is up.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Alot really :( In the 9 months that I have had her, I have had to buy 6 new tyres in total, One was a blow out, the other was my suspension spring piercing it and the other 4 were cause the treads were down, my fault though :). I need a new fan belt, a new exhaust and a new back window as I stupidly put the roof down in the frost which cracked it- oops haha! ive needed a new suspension spring too!! :(
What's most practical about your car?
Its a car designed for me :) Great sized boot for my shopping addiction and lots of wee quirky things such as the cup holders in the door :)
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The Convertible roof :) Love it :) and the heated leather seats of course :D
