Got one of these on hire as a run around while our car is being fixed.

First impressions are a mixed bag.  I can't get proper comfy in the cabin. Leg room? Seat position? Wheel position?. Just doesn't seem right. Might be alright for sub six footers. As a result the forward vision is reduced as I found myself peering under the roofline. Alright for folk who only look 15 yards or less in front. Likewise the sidevision is not so great as the side pillar is in the way.

However in hooligan mode it handles very well and soaks up the bumps well. It is a diesel maybe the 1.6 but with one up it went well enough. I bet the higher powered ones are a real hoot! Well equipped too with Cruise control and a bunch of other essentials.

I think that most Italian cars,( ordinary ones that is) have a very strange driving positions. Probably due to most Ities are short@rses anyway . My lad has had a few Fiats and could never get a comfortable position when i drove them. Never driven any supercars so couldn,t possibly comment.

Oh and the other big failing is my foot keeps getting stuck between the accelerator and brake pedal. Bit awkward in an emergency!  Designed for folk with small feet. The pedals aren't in the centre as defined by steering wheel. You do get an enormous footrest for your left foot though  so it arrives rested.
