Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very very good. Its got enough oomph to outrun most diesels and doesn't sound like a tractor when cruising or held in city traffic. Returns reasonable mpg both in city and motorway. Good handling for a family car.
What's it like to park?
Reasonably good but it took a while to get used to reduced rear visibility.
