  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    You sit is soft leather luxury and waft along. The key point is that you never feel you have to hurry. It is not a car for chucking sideways round bends. Auto box changes are smooth and the engine is very very quiet

    What's it like to park?

    It has sensors front and rear which are useful. It is no easier or more difficult than any other large saloon to park, but make sure you pick a car park space away from other people if you can - the car is quite wide and you may suffer damage from other people openeing their doors into the bodywork
