Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I feel really at home in it, its very comfortable, quiet and responsive, some road tests have said it does not corner well, I chicken out long before the car can misbehave. The VW 2lt 143 engine give all the power I need, and provides good fuel consumption even on short runs.
What's it like to park?
Rear sensors make life easy, visability is reasonable and the mirrors can be adjusted very simply.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
So far it has been faultless.
What's most practical about your car?
The performance and economy which are both very impressive.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The SE is loaded with all the gadgets I need, but auto lighting, wipers and self dip mirror I find the most usful.
