Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Generally very good. Although overtaking will need a bit of thought! And you do have to change down gears sometimes on certain hills. But then it is only a 1.2 16v engine, which you can easily forget.
What's it like to park?
Neither I or my partner have had any problems. But we do enjoy watching the Big Boys manouvering to get parked!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No not really. I keep up with the regular servicing. I recently had to have 2 new front suspension springs fitted. I wasn, t aware till service. I'm thinking maybe road humps were responsible!!!!?
What's most practical about your car?
Low tax, low insurance, and 50+ to the gallon, and reasonable servicing costs. A true winner in my opinion.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Doesn't have any, nor do I feel the need of any.It gets me from A to B and back. Simples!
