  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    its an absolute flying machine, 111bhp in a small car is enough to keep anyone excited. although the steering is so light it can be quite dangerous when doing 120 mph....only joking! best thing is there is no clue to what engine it is so when a boy racer turns up at the traffic lights with his 1.2 sxi corsa, its time to say goodbye! seems like they are going backwards...brilliant!

    What's it like to park?

    it is a bit harder than my last clio as the bottom of the window is slightly higher so visibility is decreased but it is still very easy to park because of the light steering and decent visibilty out front.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    no not yet

    What's most practical about your car?

    very roomy, trip computer is very helpful

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    has to be the keyless entry, it is just so clever! i dont even need to get the card out of my pocket, i just walk upto the car swipe my finger across the sensor and it opens. i get in then press the brake and press start and i am away!
