  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Brilliant to drive, back end gets a little twitchy if the roads are icey or greasey but ditching the runflats for standard tires and winter tires makes a big differerence. Overtaking is effortless, especially with the Paddleshift gearbox, either use the downshift (which can sometimes be a little slow to respond) or two blips down and your rocketed towards the horizon with ease.

    What's it like to park?

    Parking sensors are a must for me.

    REST feature, brilliant when you pop to the shops.
