Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Company Car

Delivery fine, but had to wait for delivery - probably because I ordered the panaramic roof
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent for a diesel a bit of a tractor at startup, but quiet when underway. Sport setting firms everything up and quite grippy - though I also have a Honda Civic Type R, and it's nothing like that!
What's it like to park?
OK with rear sensors.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No
What's most practical about your car?
Everything works and is where it should be - boot is tiny though, and visibility poor
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Panaramic roof and the 'sport' button - should be able to set it 'on' as default. Hate the stupid 'toggle' indicator switch though - it is actually quite dangerous!!!
