Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Horrid and rather dull. Great for burning people at the lights, however corners like a skip. Seats are uncomfortable on long distances. On the whole this car gives me no joy on a hot sunny day on a bendy road.
What's it like to park?
Reversing is easy with the parking sensors, however at 1.5 meters wide, be sure to find a large space and you wont be able to get out of the doors!
