  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Easy! Smooth gears, comfortable , small engine so obviously not that powerful but that's fine by me. Boot spacious, with seats down loads of space.

    My parkings a joke anyway but it seems ok.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Yes! Rusted exhaust - replaced, broken power steering fluid pipe and loss of power steering- quite scary and pricey , a flat tyre.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Perfect size for me! First car so hard to compare but seems spacious enough for a small car. Seems ok on fuel but then I haven't driven many long distances yet.
