Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Not particularly quick unless you push down hard on the accelerator, then it flies. Mid range between 50 - 70 mph excellent.

Fine if you choose your spaces wisely. Don't try to squeeze into small gaps, it won't fit!

Seats 4 comfortably and has decent sized boot, although a bit shallow.
