Driving it

Epic to drive especially in 'dynamic' mode. Not great in the wet though.

OK with due care. Mine has a rear view camera but I tend to use the mirrors and audible sensors.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Unfortunately, there are minor niggles. the fuel tank when full makes a thudding noise when the car stops, the touchscreen is slow, the turbos are noisy and there is excessive wind noise from the drivers door. Good effort but no cigar.
What's most practical about your car?
Tailgate and folding seats.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Meridian hi-fi and cooling seats.
