Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Driving feels light but as a result the steering can feel unresponsive. 1.6 model lacks some oomph on the Scottish hills and roads.
What's it like to park?
Easy to park, reverse or diving in but I can see the trademark rear end could cause trouble for those without spatial awareness

Nothing gone wrong, touchwood, but replacing even a blown bulb is a bit of an experience.
What's most practical about your car?
Most practical is that it can fit in a pram or pushchair and have ample room to fit in other stuff too.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Keyless entry.
