Driving it

5 out of 5

What's it like to drive?
Great handling, superb ride quality. Powerful engine, superbly smooth auto box, always in the right gear. Effortless to drive & reasonable fuel economy.

What's it like to park?
Parking sensors make parking a doddle, but even without them would be fairly easy - estate body makes it easy to judge the rear of car & 3 pointed star on bonnet makes it easy to judge the front of car.

Loads of storage in cabin, big boot & lots of underfloor & side storage in boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Auto gearbox, auto lights, parking sensors, folding mirrors, part electric seats, heated leather seats.
