Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Aggressive. when driving in residential areas you will be barely touching the accelerator and still keeping up with other cars. when you get to an open road the fund starts. 0-62mph takes no time at all. how it gets to 62mph and beyond is where the fun is. this car will put you in the back of your seat making as much noise as possible whilst its doing that. the power will really put a smile on your face.
What's it like to park?
Turning circle could be better. mine has black windows at the back and on the rear so can be very dark at night, as with all cars you quickly get use it it.

K1 alloys and bodykit looks fantastic in black with red callipers. the optional satnav/media player is a must also.
