Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Noisy 2.0L diesel engine but good on power - ideal for motorway driving. Fuel economy is very disappointing so far (45 mpg) but engine still needs to be 'run in', so hopefully will improve. The head restraint is peculiarly uncomfortable, at least for someone my height. The internal quality of the car is very good - on a par with VW and Audi.
What's it like to park?
With the park assist function, front and rear sensors and reverse camera it's very, very easy.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The car is very new, only 200 miles done. Perfect so far.
What's most practical about your car?
The large boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The touch screen is very good once you learn how to navigate it. Climate controls are easy to use. Sat-nav needed to be upgraded to cater for 7 digit UK postcodes - this was an extra cost.
