Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Big car, not the easiest to park but surprisingly manoeuvrable. Good in town as its nippy in 1st to 3rd gears, brilliant on the motorway as its comfortable and delivers a lot of power and just keeps giving! Handles great on open country roads too. You will have to change gears going uphill though especially when its loaded.
What's it like to park?
Average due to size but surprisingly manoeuvrable.
