What's it like to drive?

Very easy to drive the steering is very light and could use alittle more car par. Very good on motoways overtaking is a breeze. I was concerned about about it being 5 speed but the engine turns over at 2000rpm on the motorway which is good. In gear 1st is a little dead but abouve 2000rpm in 2 - 5th has alot of punch. Currently averaging 50mpg (490mile per tank)that is with a very light right foot though!

It is easy to park the c pillar might be thick for rear parking but you soon become used to it.

A decent sized boot and sufficient space in the back of the car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Trip computer- I am mpg obsessed with it! Compared to my previous car it also offers alot of information at your finger tips. The stereo, whilst being standard is very good.
