Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Absolutely brilliant. I once had a Mini clubman 1275 GT back in the 80's and it reminds me of that- not quick but highly entertaining on country roads. LOVE IT.

Piece of cake!!!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not yet- and I'm sure it wont!!!!
What's most practical about your car?
The driving position is QUITE EXCEPTIONAL- for someone of my size- 6'3" and 18 stone(rugby player size!!) it is amazing to have this level of comfort in such a small car. The car is a real TARDIS- and I can stretch my left leg out!!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
There are no gadgets!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Embrace the simplicity-much less to go wrong in 5 years time when some spotty 18 year old has it!!!!
