  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Terrific. Precise handling with acceptable ride. Enough poke to make it interesting and the N series engine is very flexible. Wish there was less wind noise from the hood. Why couldn't they have sorted out a wash/wipe system?

    What's it like to park?

    I'd rather park my Discovery. I hate parking the thing.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Not sure practicality comes into it, but the boot space is surprisingly usable.
