    What's it like to drive?

    A very nice drive. I don’t understand people moaning about it being under powered as you don’t buy this car to race around a track; you buy it because it performs well when needed and is very comfortable with good visibility and 100% reliability

    What's it like to park?

    Easy, if you cant park this car without sensors you should not be driving!

    Load space

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Its a car, a tool that does what its meant to do, get from A to B
