Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Sensodrive gearbox is fantastic, really easy to use. The steering has a nice feel and visibility is excellent thanks to the low window line.
What's it like to park?
Very easy. There's mirrors everywhere and you can see all corners of the car from your seat and the steering is light.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing, hopefully it'll stay that way!
What's most practical about your car?
The boot partitioner. It gives the boot two levels. I also like the armchairs that are the driving seats.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Automatic headlights and wipers are very helpful. The door mirrors automatically fold in when you lock the car to avoid them being chopped off - very thoughtful feature
