Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Brilliant! Very nippy especially on motorway...with cruise engaged it excellent. Tow's my caravan with ease but not as good as my old 4x4 on wet surfaces.
What's it like to park?
Ok....I tend to look for a big space! Parking sensors would have been good but not practical when towing a caravan beacause of the towbar, so I do without.
