Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great on the motorway and long sweeping A roads. Wooden suspension and lumpy ride on poorer roads very disappointing. Lack of steering feel. Great engine - powerful and quite charismatic 5 cyl growl makes it stand out. Comfortable seats.
What's it like to park?
Challenging. Need parking sensors. Lousy steering lock makes multi-story carparks a pain.
