Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Easy - I love the cvt box. Much smoother than other autos and semi-autos I've owned. Don't like the high floor much - makes the driving position a bit odd. The seats are ok but not great.
What's it like to park?
Dead easy - even without the park assist due the the sensors and good mirrors. (Mine don't fold unfortunately).

Air-con gas has leaked out.
What's most practical about your car?
Size. Easy to drive.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Auto lights/wipers, handfree, heated seats but the park assist is the best.
