Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Can be a bit unsettled on the worse roads. Apart from that it's great - feels like you are part of the car, not just driving it. Quite quick with plenty of low down grunt. You only hear it's a diesel at low speeds.
What's it like to park?
Reverse PDC will save the delicate bodywork!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Half a dozen minor problems - cruise control, rear PDC, drivers seat not moving correctly to allow access in the back. Boot release stopped working.
What's most practical about your car?
Split folding rear seats - makes enough room for the golf clubs.
