Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I have driven may cars from almost all manufacturers and this is one of the best. The 8 speed gearbox is very smooth and the optional sport mode is great when conditions are right.
What's it like to park?
It is a large car, but parking is helped by rear view camera and forward sensors. Mirrors dip which helps reversing.
