Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very slow and sluggish. Wheel balance required quite often.The stupid centre-out motion wipers do not fully extend out so you have a 3" windscreen blind channel down each side of the screen. The side cabin front columns are too chunky so combined you don't have great visibilty when turning corners.
What's it like to park?
no rear sensors but it's pretty easy to reverse park. the bonnet slopes down at an angle meaning that you cannot see where your car bonnet ends.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Far too many faults to list. Initially for a couple of years we had no probs but then the faulty electrics, faulty 5 disc changer, Anti-pollution, cat convertor faults, nasty cheap french exhausts, abs sensors replaced at 4x£60. headlight loose connections, etc. etc.
What's most practical about your car?
Decent size, easy to park, not bad on fuel but very very very sluggish.
