    What's it like to drive?

    Goes like a bat out of hell. With VVTI engine, you get good MPG yet if u need to, it can give u the juice when u pressed down hard (especially from start or over-taking on M-way).

    What's it like to park?

    Although the rear view is a bit restricted, after couple of days, u get used to it and never had problem parking. I live in London so parking is always tight!
