Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Drives comfortably, feels robust.
What's it like to park?
The stuck out back end takes getting used to. I actually used to allow too much room as I thought it stuck out more than it actually did.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Gearbox failed at 20,000 miles. Clutch also replaced. Regulator faulty, resulting in windows randomly going down, even when the car was off with no power and locked. Once down, they would not go back up unless the car was left for a few hours. Squeeky breaks, alough not worn. Coil gone, now on the 3rd one.
What's most practical about your car?
Spacious for a hatchback and great size boot. Love the automatic lights.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Automatic light function. I always used to forget to put my lights on, now it all happens automatically.
