Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Mostly driving on the motorway; it is smooth and comfortable. Little wind noise, but there is some tyre roar especially on older road surfaces. Sports suspension is a little hard however it is still capable of absorbing most small bumps in the roads, larger ones become more apparent. The 1.6TDi engine is great, loads of torque for driving up and down slopes. 5 speed gearbox is sufficient and gear ratios are well spaced without having to jump around the 'box.
What's it like to park?
Easy, good visibility and even easier with the rear parking sensors.

Auto headlights/wipers.
