  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Lovely handling and perfect for my drive to work that involves some town, motorway and country A road driving. Could never be described as fast unless you really rev it but get good consumption if you just drive normally.

    What's it like to park?

    Haven't had any problems, upgrading to SE-L and getting rear parking sensors as standard would be a good idea.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    A few glitches with the In Car Entertainment & Sat-Nav but nothing major.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Good space allround and decent boot fits the large pushchair we have for our child.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Glad I chose the incar sat-nav and had after market rear-parking sensors fitted as had heard they were a necessity due to small rear windscreen.
