What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

It was really slow to drive, and couldn't achieve wheelspin it was so underpowered. Many times I have had to redline the engine just to enable me to get up to normal traffic speed. When on the motorway it would easily cruise at 80mph but this would be around 3000rpm, so it sounded like you were killing the engine. But it was a true workhorse and started first time every time no matter the weather. I was surprised it lasted so long, with the way I drove it.

What's it like to park?

Very easy due to its small size.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Exhaust started blowing and had to be replaced, also there was a grinding noise on full lock, all of which was fixed at a garage.

What's most practical about your car?

It was very small and easy to dart around town.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Electric windows.
