What's it like to drive?

Its absolutely rapid! in a straight line she just pulls and makes no sweat about it! corners are good until there wet or greasy, iv had problems turning into a road slightly uphill in the rain and traction kicking in and killing power, hasnt only happend once. can be twitchy at times.

What's it like to park?

The rear view is restricting but u learn to live with it. the mirrors are big so you can see alot but the turning circle is bad and is the cars downfall. parking is so so but if your not a decent parker this wont help!

In my 8months i have had to buy new tyres, new brake pads and discs, new r ear shock soon, new wiper blades and has had its panoramic roof blind refitted......twice! but apart from that, no ;).

What's most practical about your car?

The boot is massive! looks bigger than my dads 3series! the magic seats are cool too they are great when you cant get to the heavy boot lid! i managed to carry i massive SMEG fridge freezer in it with no problems!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I love the voice control! i can tell her anything and she will answer me! i can control everyting from radio through to which restaurant i want to be directed to!
