  • Driving it

    What's it like to drive?

    Having spent the weekend driving it on a round trip of 300+ miles to Clacton on Sea and back I left the car wishing I had purchased one myself instead of of the Honda Jazz i-shift I currently own. With three adults, a 10-year old, luggage and mobility scooter all crammed in it performed faultlessly. Eenough power for swift overtaking, light easy controls, etc. Very impressed.

    What's it like to park?

    Dead easy even without sensors!
