Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very comforable to drive. Very undemanding. In fact downright relaxing!!! Easy around town and it eats motorways with cruise control and speed limiter for the road works!!! Quite nippy too.
What's it like to park?
Aided by the parking sensors, if not it can be a case of adjusting the mirrors.

Sat nav, panoramic sunroof, heated seats, (especially in winter!!!)
