Friendly, helpful.

What's it like to drive?

Nippy enough in lower gears. Very refined on the motorway for a small car. Engine is quiet at all speads, even when cruising. Only critisism is a lack of torque, lower gears required to reach cruising speed, it seems to like a few revs so not much of a problem

What's it like to park?

couln't be any easier, great visibility, ultra light steering at low speeds make parking a breeze.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing at all so far, 'touch wood'. Its only two years old so shouldn't be any problems really.

What's most practical about your car?

interior space is good for a small car, plenty of head room in the front Will accomodate four people in reasonable comfort

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

You can't leave the lights on by mistake, automatically go off when engine is switched off. Good levels of safety equipment.
