Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Compared to my last car - fantastic - its pretty quiet until you rev it a bit, some reviews state its a bit lackluster, maybe compared to a 2 litre saloon, but again compared to my old car - 1.2 sxi its pretty nippy- yes on steep hills you have to change down - so what! The stiffend suspension on this is great - you can actually feel the road, there is a bend close to where I live- its down hill to the turn then up hill when going around the corner - in my previous car if you did this around 50mph it rolled and you needed a new pair of pants! - in my new car - I can do it at 60! NO ROLL AT ALL! - and no need to change gear to go up the hill - stays at 60- Fantastic!
What's it like to park?
Great - the power steering comes into being easier at low speeds and you come to full lock pretty quickly - go faster it stiffens! - Visibility compared to my last car is good - at first you think its bigger than it actually is, but you soon realise its actually not as big as it seems.
