Fun yet practical.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely, for a 1.8 it feels fast (maybe as it is very close to the ground). Motorway driving is the best part, comfortably sits at a decent speed. Was worried about fuel consumption but it is actually very good!
What's it like to park?
Takes a bit of getting used to. Has quite a long bonnet but after a few weeks its easy. Reverse parking is easier.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No. Passed last MOT with no advisorys.
What's most practical about your car?
Has a huge boot, seats fold down so you can get a lot in eg. multiple bikes.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Double DIN slot for entertainment system. Also electric mirrors are useful.
