Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent on motorway, plenty torque. Dull and boring on country roads as steering has no feel whatsoever.
What's it like to park?
Turning circle of an articulated lorry and steering stays pretty heavy.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Glow plug warning light flashing occasionally, although seems to be a faulty sensor rather than a problem with the glow plugs.
What's most practical about your car?
Other than the fact it has 5 doors and foldy down seats, nothing. Also, when folding down the rear sets there is not enough headroom to remove the headrests until the seats are part-way down, a minor inconvenience.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
SE pretty basic, CD player, ipod connector and air con.
