What's it like to drive?

So much more nimble and sporting to drive than you'd think looking at it. Like driving a sports car. Superbly smooth and quiet.

What's it like to park?

Not the easiest. I'm sure newer models have reversing sensors, but this one didn't. Probably should have.

Not wrong, but come service time, you could tell it really needed it.

What's most practical about your car?

Huge space to seat rear passengers. Supremely comfortable.

Electric seats. Purrry engine.
