What's it like to drive?

Excellent handling. Steering is fairly responsive. The ride is firm, but not too firm. All in all good fun to drive.

Visibility isn't great from rear window, but you get used to it eventually. Other than that, fine.

Very annoying rattle coming from passenger seat.

Sport button is great. Does exactly what it says. The steering wheel controls for stereo and trip computer are excellent, all cars should have this as standard!
