Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quick to accelerate and handles very well. the 2l engine uses a lot of fuel for town driving but is nice and efficient for longer motorway journeys.
What's it like to park?
Parking is usually straightforward however it can be a bit of a pain to get a clear view out of the rear window sometimes. electrically folding mirrors mean you can park in smaller spaces without worrying that someone else might take them off.
