Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Peformance: OK but no real guts (as expected). Noise: Engine fairly quiet, even at 70mph+. Ride: Better than expected, pretty comfy. All let down by the handling,don't change direction suddenly, it doesn't like it. This is where the money's been served. (Good shopping trolley - it handles like one).
What's it like to park?
Very easy.

Living with it

No but only drove it for two weeks as a loaner. No rattles at all, feels well made apart from cheap looking materials on dash etc.
What's most practical about your car?
Small size, a relaxing doddle round town.
