  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Punchy and smooth. The gearing suits the car very well indeed, meaning there's plenty of power at any speed. The car is beautifully balanced with excellent steering feel. There's some body roll but the comfortable ride makes up for that.

    What's it like to park?

    Pretty easy. It's a 'square' shape so the corners are easily visible and it has rear parking sensors too.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nothing really. It's only needed some tyres and a new wheel bearing.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Huge boot and can genuinely seat 5 adults comfortably. It's also easy to access the back seat which is important since I regularly have to get my elderly parents in there.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Quick-clear, electrically heated front screen. the automatic headlights and wipers are handy too.
