  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    The extra hp in the 110 bhp variant makes a real difference to me as a high mileage driver. The diesel engine has plenty of power even with a full load. Very stable despite being a high car.

    What's it like to park?

    Mirrors and all around visibility is fantastic. the rear parking sensors are very accurate and give great reassurance when loaded to the roof with a full load. The car is slightly narrower than other cars in its class so you get plenty of room between the lines.
