Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great fun. Everybody expects it to be driven by hairdresser types so when I go flying past or humble a hot hatch on a back road, the grin is there! Suprisingly comfortable considering the handling is so good. The engine could do with slightly more power but isn't a major issue!
What's it like to park?
Fine, as long as you're careful not to catch the rear wheel on kerbs - th rear is slightly wider than the front, be careful in drive thru's!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The stereo packed up on a freezing day but was replaced straight away.
What's most practical about your car?
I can drive into the work car park without opening the barrier! Boot is suprisingly large too!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The aircon and leather, great when it's too hot to put the roof down. I drive the car in Europe where it can get toasty at times!
