Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Drives as you would expect from a large 4x4. None of the 4x4's I have driven perform or handle anything like the latest hot hatches, even the Cayenne 4.5. So I opted for the diesel, which has enough power and also returns 32mpg.
What's it like to park?
Visibility is very good all-round, but it is still a big car and thankfully it has parking sensors.
