  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Very smooth engine - lots of low and mid range torque. Averages about 38.5 MPG so far. Wind and tyre noise quite high for this class of car on rough surfaces/at speed.

    What's it like to park?

    With sensors and a camera it's no problem. Without them it would be tricky - long sloping bonnet, a long wheelbase and it's a wide car.
