  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Very good - reasonable performance on A-road and Motorway, comfortable cruiser with enough on tap to do a good overtake. Quiet and refined. Averaging high 40 MPG - 62.8 claimed is a long way off!

    Glad I have parking sensors. Visibility is poor.

    Nothing major, just a few niggles I hope to get fixed at first service. Drivers seat base feels loose. Couple of electrical gremlins.

    Lots of cubby holes, and places to store junk. Cup holders are a good size.
