Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very smooth to drive, cruises well in 5th gear at 30mph - 90mph, struggles if the cars full of people and luggage at anything over 100mph, and the engine tends to sound a bit raced, but seeing as i live in england with the max speed limit being 70mph, this creates no real problem.
What's it like to park?
Had no problems parking, even in tight multi story carparks.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Had to replace the tyres, and brake pads, also serviced the car.
What's most practical about your car?
Superb fuel economy in and around town. Rides the bumpy side roads and country lanes well, great interior, I've not struggled to fit anything in the car like i have with previous cars, ie my old vectra.
