What's it like to drive?

round town its quite happy to cruise at 30 in 5th and will return around 38mpg but doesnt feel out of its league on the motorway either, ignore the book specs the car feels suprisingly quick for a 1.2, amazed me the first time I drove it.

What's it like to park?

easy as its a small car with good visibility

Have you had any problems with the car?

yes, tappets noisy at motorway speeds, new exhaust gas release valve and throttle control valve, cost £400 to fix in total. Regardless of this it has always started first time. Generally a reliable little car but when things go wrong theyre not cheap to fix

feels big inside for a little car.
