  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    The steering is the best thing about this car, it holds the road really well and has a great turning circle. It cruises ok on the Motorway but isnt as fast as you would think from a 1.8 sport. Gearbox is quite nice and smooth. The roof seems very cheap though, when it goes down you do wonder how long it will last before it gets stuck.

    What's it like to park?

    Poor visability out of the rear window means you cant judge the back when reversing.
