  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    I love this car. It super quick with both turbo and supercharger. Not too hard on the ride but stiff enough for bit of rapid Cornering. Off the line in the drive is quick but in the wet it does struggle for grip.

    What's it like to park?

    EASY

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    I have had the car for 12 months and covered 15000 miles. Nothing has broken, fallen or had technical issues.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Size. So easy to park and the steering is light.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    I absolutely love the DSG gear box. Why Parkers guide "cons" put it as a bad thing I do Know. Having two hands on the steering g wheel is far saver and with paddles and Twin plated clutch the gear changes are super smooth and fast.
