What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

I was expecting it to be a bit better than it is. Read about it being a revelation. i suppose you can't compare it with a more expensive car but i tend to notice that road noise is relatively high and the steering is a little too sensitive and not in tune with the road. I'm comparing it too an older but superior 166 that cost me a grand!The doors don't open very wide. The carpets and trim are a bit flimsy.

What's it like to park?

Very good.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing
