What was the dealer like?

when i picked the car up they were very professional and gave a good impression as i've never had anything to do with a main dealer before

What's it like to drive?

does everything well, low down torque is great but runs out of puff higher up the rev range but sitting on a motor way all day is a breeze

What's it like to park?

never sure where the end of the bonnet is and again not having a saloon before and no sensors havent a clue where the boot ends, always end up sticking out miles in a parking space.

small problem with a link pipe to do with the immisions filter but didnt effect the car, all sorted out under warranty.

What's most practical about your car?

good cabin space and comfy to drive long distances, also this is my first saloon and impressed with the boot space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

auto hold brake takes a bit of getting used to but really miss it when i drive other cars now
