Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The suspension is rock hard and the whole experiance is a little disconnected. Saying that this car really does deliver when it comes to putting it down. Masses of grip, loads of torque, good brakes, a very good hot hatch. Needs a 6th gear, but you can get a longer 5th gear ratio from pug for £150, saves fuel and takes the top end to over 155MPH.
What's it like to park?
It's a small hatch so fine.

Living with it

Not very practical as the front seats are huge, however it's fine for two.
