Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The mid range punch is great for safe overtaking on B roads. Acceleration in third gear from 30-70 is rapid although decent acceleration is available in any gear from 1500rpm. The ride and handling are very good although the steering's light at speed and a bit vague.
What's it like to park?
Not too bad, although rear visibility isn't great.

The fuel economy. Over a mixture of driving it never fails to return over 50mpg.

Heated leather sports seats are great. Lots of standard equipment you.
