Driving it
What's it like to drive?
When it all works and has new tyres its a dream, then the tyres wear and it gets noisy and jumpy/wonders even when tracking is perfect. It gets so bad I end up replacing tyres every 10-12k miles and at up to £250 each its not cheap.
What's it like to park?
I am rubbish at parking although never bumped anyone or kerbed alloys. When wife added to insurance fitted reverse sensors but bumpers and 2 sets of alloys ruined.
