    What does this car say about you?

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    OK. I wouldn't put it in Corolla or Golf's class but the ride is fairly comfortable and quiet. I haven't thrashed it around corners but it does feel safe enough.

    What's it like to park?

    Very easy. Just like any other car you have to get used to the dimensions.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    I've only had it for a month or so but can't see anything that is wrong or is going wrong. Having said that it's only covered 45,000 miles and has full service history so is practically a 4-5 year old car. I wouldn't expect anything to go wrong in the near future.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Not much. A simple medium sized saloon car. Has lots of cubby holes including one for sunglasses next to the rear-view mirror.
