    Always fancied one. Like the classic understated looks.

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Generally it's great. Lovely engine and gearbox. Excellent seats and seating position - very comfortable and refined. As it's a 3.0 litre Quattro it's a little thirsty but have seen 29mpg on a reasonble run which is not bad. In S Line trim with sports suspension and 18" wheels it can get a little unsettled over poor roads and arguably best suited to smooth A roads.

    What's it like to park?

    No problem - with rear parking sensors which are a must. Good lock too.

    Heated seats
