What was the dealer like?

Average. Hadn't included some of the paperwork. Both salesman and business manager ignored calls and emails for a month. Final resolved by contacting dealer principal directly.

What's it like to drive?

Just superb. Goes exactly where you point it every time. Grips forever and the engine is a superb balance of torque and economy. Regularly achieve 55mpg and I like to drive "progressively". Ride is a little firm, but I quite like that. Had the 19 inch rims swapped for 18's when I bought it. I'd had the 19's on previous model and found them too firm.

Easy. Rear parking sensors as standard.

Not missed a beat.

What's most practical about your car?

Proper four seater. Big enough boot and folding seats.

A bit lacking in gadgets. Bluetooth was a just for me though.
