Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Rolls beautifully on smooth roads, conversely hard suspension and 19" wheels do not like country roads. Low revs give decent motorway speed and give 47 - 49 mpg on motorway run.
What's it like to park?
Daylight ok. However for some reason, horrible particularly in dark (unlit) roads. Low body, poor reversing lights and mirrors combine poorly.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Heater just started to play up, dash warning light is on for diesel particulate filter. Tyre wear is not good and 19"x 6" tyres are very expensive to buy frequently (and I am not a boy racer).
What's most practical about your car?
Plenty of room with seats up and down, and very good mpg.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
On board computer for managing mpg and cruise control to keep licence.
