Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Our's is the manual, Wish it was auto, the 143 seems a little slow when over taking. Although we did have a 330d M sport, I must stop comparing. Easy to drive. If you are 6ft you'll need to put the seat back before you get in. Your knees will get stuck under the steering wheel. The 192 Quattro wheels seem to wide for the car and like to follow the hgv ruts in the road.
What's it like to park?
Very easy with park assist front and rear. Blind spot with the large rear view mirror.
