Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great to drive - but be warned - it is every bit as big as it looks. Sometimes feels a bit too big! Performance is OK but you would not want anything less than a 140bhp TDCi. Mine has the 18" wheels and sport pack - the ride is firm but don't take some people's comments about it being too firm and noisy to seriously - this is still a very quiet and very comfy car (and I had VWs and BMWs before). Try before you buy, but don't rule out the wider wheels and sports pack - it does look GREAT!
What's it like to park?
OK - but you NEED parking sensors which are an optional extra. Otherwise it would be ver hard to park.
