Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quick, reasonably quiet. Supple on good roads (terrible on poor ones - undertyred). Seats are poor - lumber support not adjustable and in the wrong place for me. All the main controls seem too low.
What's it like to park?
Ok I suppose. Normal Europeanised steering (unnecessarily heavy). Exterior mirrors are good.
