Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Strange experience. Sounds like a shopping car until 5000 rpm then sounds weird. Is comfortable at slow speeds but floats a little at high speed. Nothing I can't cope with. Requires reving hard to get the best from it but is fun while the petrol lasts. Very smooth engine.
What's it like to park?
Easy. To be honest, if you can't park then hand your licence back!

Carries 4 people and large boot considering it's a sports car.

Rev limit beep.
