Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Feels amazing, Love it.. on motorway it keeps up with traffic well and because of the powerful engine it doesnt hang around overtakin. On country lanes it feels in control at all times and good set of brakes.
What's it like to park?
I have found it very easy so far but then my last car was a simular size. The parking sensors are a godsend. Specially in my local station car park.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing yet (touch wood) but only had the car a month or so.
What's most practical about your car?
Decent sized boot with a useful hidden compartment underneith. Aux-in under the centre console is a brilliant feature saves me shelling out for an ipod interface
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control is a nice feature on the motorway as the engine is very powerful and keeps my speed in check.
