Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A dream to drive, more like a go-kart than a car. Handles bends superbly, smooth power delivery through all gears, fantastic steering, great clutch and gearbox. A proper sports car.
What's it like to park?
Compact dimensions make any parking space accessible. Reversing is tricky - rear visibility is poor with roof up but then most soft tops suffer from this.

Living with it

No problems so far.
What's most practical about your car?
Small compact size - fits into any parking space.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Black leather seats with white stitching.
