What's it like to drive?
On the motorway its very good, when driving slowly it chugs the gear change is clunky and keeps loosing traction when going very slowly.

Its not easy to park as you have no idea where the front of the car is, the rear has parking sensors but, it should have front parking sensors as well as standard.

Within 2 days of picking the car up I lost traction twice, it would not go forwards or reverse, I had to switch if off and start again, the dealer said there was nothing wrong, since then it has done it about 20= times and the dealer says still nothing is wrong. Fuel consumption is about 20% down on what they claim.
