... great for trips around town and for the average school run, however on a daily commute of 2 hours on fast moving roads, the 106 Zest, isn't quite up to it. The car is easy to drive (although those stupid pedals I am sure, were designed for a mouse to use) and dare I say it - it can be fun. But by fun I mean it's exhilarating, and by exhilarating, I mean you have to wrestle with the steering wheel to get it to take any sort of corner and sometimes you wonder if it's going to make it or not...

It will comfortably hold 90mph on the motorway, only struggling a bit on the hills when it drops down to 80 or so, which is still pretty impressive! Downsides: small and cramped pedal area (but I have got size 10 feet) so I have to carefully choose which shoes to wear, and avoid hitting the brake and accelerator at the same time. I also find the ... Read the complete review
