Driving it

It's easy to drive and park. It's great to drive round country roads as it has good handling and also not bad on motorways. It's a bit sluggish when accelerating (compared to my previous Hyundai) but overall it's a good all rounder and is comfortable to drive.

Fairly easy to park, it's a standard size and the steering is good.
