Driving it

Never slow in any mode, a slight pause from pulling off from idle.. turbo diesel, a very comfortable motorway cruiser, good handling, Driving position could of been better for a 5'6 person, good all round relax drive to be fair.

Great with the parking sensors and electric mirrors considering the longish car it is.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Anti pollution and FAP control issues and error messages, severl times had took it to main dealer to deal with it at cost, turbo soleniode, abs sensors, and very expensive radio valves on the wheels either snapped off or gave errors on the dash with low tyre pressure or punctures when the tyres where fine. I had them all done and not much happened after that.
What's most practical about your car?
Ample space in front and back cabin, big boot, good storage places, cup holder, lights on mirrors, rear and side blinds that fold down hidden, all around electric fold away mirrors and much more!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The three mode Porsche gear box , sport, tip auto was awesome!! and the sport mode, I had fun with this and was amazed at the performance and ratio for a front wheel saloon .
