Driving it

5 out of 5

What's it like to drive?
Really good - handles well, excellent engine from golf gti. Fair bit of road noise and feels the bumps, but to be expected in sport model with low suspension and big tyres.

Pretty easy but wish I had opted for park sensors.

Have you had any problems with the car?
Only a pigeon taking off part of front spoiler. But can hardly blame the car for that.

What's most practical about your car?
The huge boot, one of biggest in class, like the fact it between sizes - e.g. bigger than a focus, but not as big as a mondeo.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated seats or "butt warmers" as the kids call them. Couldn't be without them now. Oh and the turny xenons are good too.
