  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Very easy to drive. Steering light and responsive, brakes powerful, handles road bumps without thinking your suspension will break like some sports cars. The turbo guarantees fun, whether on bends or straights. Just watch your speed! This car makes it very easy to induce police attracting speeds without realising it.

    What's it like to park?

    Fine, got parking sensors but visibility is ok at back and good at front

    What's most practical about your car?

    I can get two adults and three kids with child seats in there! No kidding. And then it becomes a rally driving greyhound when I'm on my own. Such good fun to drive. Also has decent enough legroom and boot
