Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely, refined, quiet, smooth, Sounds like a diesel when you rev it but cannot even hear the engine at idle. Is quieter on the motorway than my old 1.6 megane. It is such a solid, well-made car, the interior is so well put together, you just know it is a car that will last years without a fault.
What's it like to park?
Easy, has big windows all round and the glass tailgate. Nice light clutch and low biting point.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No
What's most practical about your car?
The big boot for such a small car, and masses of room up front.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The lovely metallic dark blue paintwork. It changes colour in the light.
