Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Nice to drive. Not particularly fast but the gearbox is excellent. The steering judders when turning stationary at low revs due to the electronic power steering.
What's it like to park?
Easy enough with the mirrors, sensors and camera. Quite a big and long car but I have no issues parking it.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The passenger door doesn't centrally lock. This was a fault from delivery and the warranty will cover that. The media system is awful - iPod function in particular. It takes near enough two minutes for the iPod to be recognised and begin playing and doesn't have a remember function, so when you power off the car the iPod starts again at the beginning of the playlist. Also, when you switch to the radio then back to iPod you have to take the cable out and replace for it to find the iPod again and then wait another two minutes for it to start playing yet again at the beginning.
What's most practical about your car?
The reversing camera.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The electronic adjustable seats and memory function.
