Driving it
What's it like to drive?
For a 1.2 it can be fast if you drive it hard. Engine did not feel refined. Steering is light but precise and handling around corners is fine. Gearbox feels clunky and just not nice. Seating position was hard to get comfortable. This is not a drivers car and I did not enjoy driving it.
What's it like to park?
Just like any car once you get used to the size.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
keyless ignition gets stiff (hard to turm ignition ok, technique needed by engaging wheel lock and then twisting switch). Seems fine lately. Windows have a habit of creaking when driving around half down. Reverse lamp didn't work for a while but has corrected it self after fiddling with GBox stick. CDs starting jumping when playing. Leather steering wheel gets sticky. The leather texture now has the orange peel texture. Need wheel cover if this happens.
What's most practical about your car?
Large glove compartment, Intelli key, Audio controls on wheels, passenger underseat storage. Fuel computer tells you the range before it runs out of petrol and temperature outside.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Definetely the intelli key. No more fumbling for key. Just leave it in my pocket and forget about it.
