Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely, smooth, quiet and fast. Motorway cruises are a joy, Pulls like a train up hills. Clutch can get a little heavy round town, but still makes me smile every time I drive it.
What's it like to park?
A pig. Has the turning circle of a house and rear visabilty is poor. You look a fool everytime you try and park in Tescos or the multistory. You will get very good at 3 point turns!
