    1 out of 5 1.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It's a nice drive in general but the eco system is terrible, the car cuts out at lights but doesn't always start which causes problems when pulling off.

    Very easy.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    The Bluetooth hardly ever works, I have never used my phone through the car and I have checked and my phone is compatible. There are too many small gaps between the seats - I have kids and when they drop little toys or sweets I have problems trying to clean in the gaps. Also if it has been raining and you open the driver's window and then pull away from a standing position you will find all the water runs off the roof and through your window.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Music system.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Music system. Love the way you can put an SD card into the system and it's all touchscreen.
