Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Really nice to drive for such a heavy car, with ample power when needed; DSG is smooth though can be caught out.
What's it like to park?
It's a big car and not always easy to see where the corners are, espeically when reversing into a space; the 'radar' warnings help hugely.
