Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Takes corners well, pokey enough to keep up with traffic in main town/city area, on the main roads though it does need to be revved a bit.
What's it like to park?
Nice and easy, reversing is simple and so is driving straight in. In all honesty only a few times have i had to repark.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Two things: 1) Trigger Wire became loose, AA came out and sorted it within minutes, nice and simple. 2) Radiator Fan broke, again simple, just bought a spare and had it sorted within a few days.
What's most practical about your car?
Boot size is good, manage to get plenty of my sporting equipment in my car, or double if im giving a mate a lift.
