Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Engine is lazy, unresponsive, unrefined and has a narrow power band. It is at least quiet and torquey on the motorway. Steering has good feel but is heavy and prone to tramlining. Brakes have good feel. Suspension is supple but suffers from excessive pitching and diving.
What's it like to park?
A combination of heavy steering and poor visibility hinder parking.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Most unreliable car I have ever owned. During my 7 months of ownership the boot locks failed, the engine management system failed, the headlight wiring failed, the starter motor failed, the battery failed, the exhaust failed, the universal joints failed, and water began leaking into the cabin.
What's most practical about your car?
Boot space is very good for a coupe and is easily accessible.
