Driving it
What's it like to drive?
its pretty awful its automatic gearbox is ok but is a bit slow witted but above all the suspension is horrific its incredebly soft and wallowy and if you hit a rock or pot hole it will throw you off course and nearly into a ditch cant really go over 80 mph if you hit anyhing then you will crash.
What's it like to park?
not so good its visibillity is bad at the front you cant see the bumper and the bonnet is shorter than it by about 4 inches and without a rear spoiler you wont see the back. the power steering also lets out an annoying whine when on full lock
