  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Smooth, stable, good in corners. Overtaking is a breeze if wound up in the right gear. Awful turning circle but you get used to it. Had it converted to LPG so it's now cheaper to run than a diesel.

    What's it like to park?

    Good. No significant blind spots.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Versatile interior space, good storage and cupholders!

    General 'usefulness' and feelgood factor.
