Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's uncomfortable, very bumpy, has heavy steering, the gearbox is jerky, and the car is upset by the slightest breeze. Around town on the most smoothest of roads it's OK, but don't forget UK roads are full of pot holes.
What's it like to park?
It's small, but the steering is very heavy. It's wider at the back than the front which can mean parking straight when reversing is a problem, but it's so small if you are not square in a space nobody will care.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The Poly -V - Belt (alternator/starter-motor/water-pump) belt snapped at 15,500 miles at 2 years six months old. When it snapped, it caused considerable secondary damage including wiring and the oil sensor.
What's most practical about your car?
It's small and can be parked in a small space, if you work out your arms and upper body at the gym.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
None, I can't think of anything.
