Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Extremely enjoyable. Its a little tail happy in the wet but the instant gearshift of the semi auto gearbox makes it very quick indeed, Ive had 129mph on... the autobhan ;) and have never been beaten off of the lights by lower than a 1.8, except those pesky Gilanza starlets...
What's it like to park?
A doddle, the powersteering is outdated (hydraulic) but is still easy. If you cant park a car, buy a scooter

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
ECU replaced due to fault, the ever present french car interior rattle.
What's most practical about your car?
Well spaced interior for its size, a lot of extras for the money
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
trip computer, engine, tiptronic gearbox, sports button!
