    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    A very fast car that you would rather cruise in, it is awesome whether you are in a hurry or not, it copes with both scenarios very well.

    This is one big mother and not easy to park, also the big doors can easily reach most other cars when parked up so take care.

    Phenomenal acceleration for overtakes.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Heated seats, she loves them. Far better Sat Nav these days. IDrive system good when you know how to use it.
