Driving
Mile muncher. Fairly quiet at speed with right tyres. Also fun to throw around roundabouts and B-roads. Fully adjustable seat good. Accelerator travels a long way down so no shin fatigue.
Performance
2.1-litre 110bhp. Suprises people - can achieve 120 on clock (Autobahn) and pulls strongly from 40 in 5th.

Image
White. Bit like a taxi, but looks respectable.
