Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The car is amazing to drive. I take it up into the peaks on a regular basis and although it is only a 1ltr engine it is quite nippy. Although it has done 95000 miles it is still very nice
What's it like to park?
It is quite good at this too. Although the visibility isn't that great because you are sat so low in the car. Also this is where power steering would come in handy
