What's it like to drive?

THe car handles ok, uninspiring to drive, and VERY sluggish, I had no faith in this car overtaking... I also was very unimpressed with the fuel economy, barely scraping 40mpg, and I felt the car wasn't very well put together.

What's it like to park?

The shape of the rear of the car made it very difficult to park and reverse.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The car was a nightmare... engine management light would come on for no reason, and the speedometer would drop to 0. Pulling in and restarting the car would cure this. The passenger headlight also liked to re-adjust itself regularly.

The boot was large.
