Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The estate is a heavy car and when full of passengers requires good use of the gearbox to respond to any rapid acceleration you may require. A very good motorway cruiser. Ride quality is very good.
What's it like to park?
Easy though when reversing up close to a wall the rear view window distorts the perception of distance. When you think you are 6" off a wall its really 18"!
