Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Pretty gutless engine that suffer from chronic turbo-lag 0 you have to anticpate acceleration a couple of seconds in advance. Cruises well though there's an annoying whistle from the sun roof at 80mph. Soft suspension means a lot of roll around country roads, though overall it does handle well when pushed.
What's it like to park?
Fine - rear parking sensor very useful though it is hard to judge the front (actually shorter than you think).

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
An (electric) rear window wouldn't go up, the alarm suddenly stopped working and I couldn't get into the car, the CD-multichanger errored and wouldn't release the cartridge.
What's most practical about your car?
The two seats in the rear that fold flat.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Automatic lights work very well.
