Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Really like it. The diesel VW engine pulls hard when the turbo kicks in and makes overtaking acceptable. Superchip is also available and increases BHP by 35 with loads more torque.
What's it like to park?
Huge mirrors so nice and easy. Would like parking assist or rear camera just because not used to such a high vehicle

Not yet, only had it a few days
What's most practical about your car?
feels huge but is only 5mm wider than my boxster and 10mm longer.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Leather heated seats - wife loves them.
