Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Easy. Comfortable and practicle. Nice steering, suspension could be better. Performance OK economy superb. I drive 90 percent of time in the default power mode, if extra power is required all it takes is a push of a button. Disappointedly it does not come with a DAB radio which for this price it should have.
What's it like to park?
Good to park as it is equipped with rear camera and mine also has rear sensors which if I had to choose between the two I would opt for the sensors.
