Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Handling is good and safe,doesnt seem like a typical front-wheel drive car.Fine,communicative,sharp steering with good feel and well-padded steering wheel with detents.Ride can be a bit firm due to the low-profile wheels but is well controlled. A great car for cruising on motorways and a flexible engine usually pulls well from low revs.

High-ish sill means its not the easiest to park,but it does have very useful parking sensors.
