Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The car is easy to drive once you are used to it, but first time round it can be hard as the pedals are stiff and the biting point is rather high to, but when you know how its a dream. The Handling is out of this world it out handles a Type R and anything i have had in the past, stiff enough to hog the road but soft enough to be forgiving and disguise big pot holes.
What's it like to park?
Visibility is great so reverse parking a doddle, the turning circle is awful mind so dont drive into spaces, reverse every time
