Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Im not keen on the clutch. I seemed to be always reving the car after a hard gear change. It handles around bends for fun. No body roll at all. It was built in a wind tunnel, so what can i say.......it was built for speed.
What's it like to park?
Not too bad, the rear window is a bit small.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing serious, just the tyre warning light always going off when the pressure gets a bit low on one tyre
What's most practical about your car?
Spacious inside. Park it next to a Ford Focus and compare the size. There isnt much in ti for a small car.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The 18 inch wheels. They set the car off. You have to pay extra to get them, but they are worth every penny.
