Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The diesel engine is superb. Aside from being efficient it accelerates very well and is not too noisy needing ~2500 RPM at 70 mph. Road noise was dramatically reduced when I switched to Michelin energy saver+ tyres. I use it a lot on motorways and it is really quite good for a small car.
What's it like to park?
Very easy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No.
What's most practical about your car?
The ample interior space.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Keyless entry and climate control. I really did not rate keyless entry when I bought the car - it just came as standard on this model. But I have grown to really like this feature.
