What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

The car is very comfortable to drive with the half leather seats keeping you in place. The car is setup for sports driving, in the sense that the suspension is stiffer than most cars and the 18" wheels provide a firmer ride than normal. The gearing on this model is fairly long, meaning that there are times when you need to drop a cog or two to get the car to pull away quickly.

What's it like to park?

This car is very easy to park, with good all round vision. The upright pillars are not as obtrusive as other makes that I have driven. This model is equipped with reversing sensors as standard, which also makes things easier.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing gone wrong to date.

What's most practical about your car?

The boot is comparable to others in its class. The engine is spritely with a good amount of torque, which allows you to complete overtaking comfortably. There are plenty of spaces within the cabin to store the day to day items such as keys, glasses and mobile phone. The built in MP3 and bluetooth phone system makes long drives easier to deal with!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The climate control and the Cielo glass roof.
