  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Great! I test drove the veloce with 17 inch wheels and it crashed around so kept the 16 inch wheels and its comfortable enough for me. It's nimble, changes direction quickly and can give much more powerful cars a fright in dynamic mode!

    What's it like to park?

    Rear view reversing is not great but the huge wing mirrors compensate for that.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    No! Build quality is excellent.

    What's most practical about your car?

    360+ miles to the tank!

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The dynamic switch is great because it changes the whole characteristic of the car, including the engine note. You can poodle around in normal, change to dynamic and drive a hot hatch!
