Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fabulous to drive if a bit uninvolving, makes a mediocre driver like me seem brilliant. The car does all the work, it just seems to hand on to whatever situation you throw it into. Amazing grip even in the wet around bends!
What's it like to park?
Have to be careful of the alloy wheels, very low profile tyres so can easily chip wheels.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Hassle free
What's most practical about your car?
Speed, agility, leech like grip
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Came with SMARTNAV very good on the few occasions that I used it, also came with speed camera alerts, less useful better to keep an eye on your speed anyway.
