Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Stunning, no other word for it. Bear in mind you have bought a diesel not a petrol so you will have an excess of Torque and less revs at your disposal. So I guess it's the best diesel I've ever driven. And it's better than all but the fastest thirstiest petrol engines.
What's it like to park?
It's a car. How hard can it be. Parking sensors make it idiot proof.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing really. headlights get some condensation in them after washing the car... Otherwise it has been stunning.
What's most practical about your car?
Load carrying capacity of an estate coupled with the driving dynamics of a small saloon / sports car.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Like the i-drive system, Like the lit door handles. Love the sports seats.
