Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Suspension excellent on smooth surfaces in all weathers, good on snow and loose surfaces, poor over bunmps and potholes. Steering direct and responsive, Tiptronic gearbox and pick-up faultless (the Tiptronic is useless in manual mode, however - too slow).

Fine, with reversing sensors as standard; good view from wing mirrors.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
It doesnt like water!... Heater air plenum chamber filled with rainwater once, spilled into the car and drowned the electrics, which had to be replaced with much interior trim; electrics havent been quite the same since. Engine flooded in quite a low flood because the air intake for engine is too low down at the front of the car.
What's most practical about your car?
Tenacious grip, good fuel economy (diesel) and pace.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Lots of them! - The fully connecting iPod link - The GPS (with altitude) - The automatic everything including main beam dipping - The super-heated seats
