Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Amazing really. Get good MPG if you feather the pedal, it is very smooth at high speeds. If you want to overtake or have some fun, the engine doesn't let you down. I love driving it. Start stop took some time to get used to, but now second nature.
What's it like to park?
A doddle. Sensors all around this trim mean you would have to be really reckless to have a bump.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No. I am aware that the DMF can be an issue with the more powerful engine, but as long as you drive it sensibly (not too low revs) shouldn't be an issue.
What's most practical about your car?
Boot space is great. Driver and passenger comfort is exceptional. Parking sensors great (front and back).
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Loads of gadgets and buttons, right up my street! Cruise control and parking sensors are very good, but the auto folding wing mirrors are the best one for me because of past experiences!
