What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

This is a great drivers car. It takes a little while to get used to the manual gears as initially it feels quite notchy but once you get used to it it just feels right and very positive. Its very well behaved in traffic and the fabulous 3 litre engine picks up in any gear. The sound of the engine at high revs is divine though its pretty hard to find a road fast enough. Power is formidable when given a heavy right foot.

What's it like to park?

Easy peasy with parking sensors . You just have to remember it's got a long nose.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Headlight washers began to leak emptying the screen wash. A fairly easy repair. Got a coin stuck behind the ash tray lid which was an absolute poin to get out. The sun glass holder catch is very delicate and can disassemble its self if you put the sun glasses in the wrong way round.

What's most practical about your car?

It has a decent sized boot for its class and is fairly comfortable for a daily driver.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Sport button.
