    What's it like to drive?

    Fantastic. Elevated driving position and great road holding giving a very secure experience. The performance for this weight of car is very good and the sound of the V8 when fully opened up - nothing quite like it.

    What's it like to park?

    At first it was a bit off putting due to its size. But after a short while - not a problem. The parking sensors are a great help and invaluable.
