Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Awesome - foot down and off you went - wit a roar from the custom exhaust
What's it like to park?
If you avoid parking bumps and kerbs, easy enough if you are used to a big car, but the sills are quite low down on this model so be careful

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not whilst I owned the car, although the mess grill was a little loose on the front passenger side
What's most practical about your car?
The physical size of the cabin and the boot space
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The luminous blue LEDs that had been installed into the electric window buttons! Seriously the super chip that was installed - made it move but was also economical if driver sensibly.
