  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Easy - but be careful of the out of sight front corners.

    20k later no serious issues. I replaced all the spheres when I got it.

    Space - economy - comfort.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Very well equipped car. My favourite though is the Ebespacher heater for freezing mornings. Has the car defrosted and the engine warmed up in less than five minutes whilst idling :-)
