Smart, modern, practical.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lively! A very willing engine, pulls well through the gears, but a bit outpaced on the motorway. In its element on A and B-roads.
What's it like to park?
Very easy thanks to the excellent all-round visibility.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Lower steering column had to be replaced (£300) - an apparently increasingly common fault. Serpentine belt needs re-adjusting in wet weather otherwise it squeaks non-stop. Noisy brakes in the morning.
What's most practical about your car?
Good boot space and room for 4 adults.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The 6-CD autochanger and the folding wing mirrors.
