What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
My car was (sold it now) pearl blue and looked lovely. Everyone said how nice it was.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Amazing! Handles like a sports car and it's very quick. Even when motorway cruising in 6th gear it still pulls when needed. Seems like there is endless power from the engine.

Ok, poor turning circle though.
