    When did you buy the car?

    March 2014

    Yeah I think so. Was a PCP special offer that compared to other similar cars was working out about £1000 less of a deposit.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    I wanted something with a lot of gadgets, very good refinement but still reasonably fun to drive.

    Friendly and knew their stuff. They weren't perfect, I had to chase them a couple of times for answers to questions but on the whole pretty good.

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Very nice. Quick and holds the road very well. Can drive it aggressively and have some fun or more conservatively and it just deals with it.

    What's it like to park?

    Pretty easy,visibility isn't the greatest but front and rear reserve parking sensors and reversing camera helps. Also the auto parallel parking is pretty cool.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    There was a problem with the window button sticking and the front parking sensor. Took it back to garage and they had it fixed in half a day under warranty.

    What's most practical about your car?

    The size. Coming from a 3 door Golf having the ability to fit 4 adults comfortably without having to squeeze past the front seats is great.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    DAB and Bluetooth audio.
