Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Nice on smooth roads driving road towns, for me it handles A roads well when asked to (dont expect to be doing 90mph like the other prats to the right of you though (Y), regretably it picks up deep holes in the road very very well, however, an upside to this is the seat cushions the blow although my CD player skips -.-
What's it like to park?
just like any other car its not excissively easy (due to manual steering) but then again it isnt like a tank so average (Y)

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
nothing gone wrong so far..only minor glitch which was easily sorted was clutch adjustment for the fact a new one had just been fitted. I had difficulty engaging gears, but is fine post-adjustment.
What's most practical about your car?
