Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Coming from a Vectra Dti the car is quick, nimble and responsive.
What's it like to park?
No more or less difficult than any other car, and no, the car does not have parking sensors. Yes the C pillars of the roof hamper rear vision a bit, but then isn't that what wing mirrors are for. I drive an articulated lorry, and am used to getting out and having a look, something more drivers should try....!!
