Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Having come out of a C5 and having read all of the negative reviews about the ride I was a little sceptical, yes the ride is harsher than the C5, but nothing like the back breaking experiances I have read about, the seats a so comfortable and on an A road or motorway it is very quiet and smooth, some of the B roads you can certainly feel the bumps though, but overall very pleased with the way it drives, and if it does get a bit bumpy, just have another look around the interior and that will put a smile on your face :).
What's it like to park?
Very easy to park, front and rear sensors definately help aswell as the camera, I think it would be awkward to park if these parking aids were not there as visibilty out of the rear is restricted, and the fron slopes away like most modern cars.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing gone wrong as yet.
What's most practical about your car?
Good boot size.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
So many to choose from, but if I had to pick one it would probably be the heads up display, but it is still putting a smile on my face everytime I go out.
