    What's it like to drive?

    Its a firm drive, road holding very good and with care, even in the wet too. Acceleration very good especially if you use the gears correctly. Nature of car prefers the open country roads.

    What's it like to park?

    Surprisingly OK but extra care needed when reversing. Your blind spot is the roof so need to use mirrors most of the time when doing so. Always best to park away from other cars - more space to open your doors & get out.
