It's not a sports car but for a midsize hatch back its nippy, responsive, great fun to drive, it's got 70bhp but you would think there's a lot more under there. The electric steering takes away the feedback but it's still a cracking car to cruise on the motorways or through the country lanes.

Parking well it's got a lot of glass in this car so seeing out of it is easy, however as I have driven a lot Peugeot's I am used to no seeing the end of the bonnet and being able to judge it. It takes practise to get it right but other than that it's easy.
