Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great fun! The EGS box is nowhere near as jerky as all the motoring journalists say. It's very easy to master to drive smoothly. In auto mode you can feel when it wants to change and the digital indicator gives you 4/10's of a second warning as well. Manual mode is better than majority of people I know with normal manuals. Comfortable to drive too.
What's it like to park?
Normal although still adjusting to light, sensitive steering. Parking sensors very sensitive - still have a few inches even after warning triangle beeps.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Just a satnav upgrade.
What's most practical about your car?
It's a normal mid-size family car.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Digital air-con, cruise control and parking sensors (although they do get excitable!).
