what's it like to drive and live with
@Hyburnate ?
Can’t really say at the moment. Suspension is hard. But once it’s in normal mode it’s not quite as bad, sort of what you’d expect from a car of its form. Handling wise, amazing. Because of its weight it feels planted to the ground at all times, the Abarth I had before was very light and a slight deviation in the road left my arse twitching.
It’s plenty spacious, the boot is a good size, in the front very comfy, seats are lacking some support however (I’m quite a skinny guy so that doesn’t help). Rear legroom is compromised due to the bulkiness of the seats however you could get two average sized adults in rear and they are unlikely to complain.
Love the little features, handle and puddle lights activate and wing mirrors unfold a side you approach. Seat adjusts to ease entrance and exit, once the drivers door is closed it motors into position - love that.
Another slight annoyance is it doesn’t remember the mode you left the car in and therefore on start up the exhaust is a bit tame.
All in all, I’m very happy. I know I’ve just slated the car, but that’s all the bad I can find, it’s not even really bad. The sound is absolutely phenomenal, I’ll get something recorded because it truly is outstanding. I’ve not really pushed it as I’ve only had it a day, but it truly is gorgeous.
Front grilles are to be looked at next.
Regarding the parking I’m afraid that’s never going to change. As
@Acme stated, the spaces are small and my next door neighbour has two young children, I do it for my sake as much as hers.
