What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

The M-CVT transmission can be a bit sluggish sometimes when pulling away. A slight knack needed to pull away quickly. Other than that it is pleasant to drive. Sufficient power, fairly quiet and handles excellently. Ride is a bit firm. Seats quite firm but comfortable. Fuel economy is pretty dreadful. around 25MPG around town. Can get about 35-38MPG on the motorway.

What's it like to park?

Ok. You can see where the bonnet ends which I like. FInd it a bit difficult to tell how much space is left behind me. Turning circle is rubbish.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong. A few trim rattles developed soon after I got it but they are minor and not too annoying.

What's most practical about your car?

Good size boot.
