Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Really fast for a car that Top Gear 'dubs' as a pensioners car! Deals with motorways easily and at Low revs. in 5th gear. Must be best in class as a town car
What's it like to park?
An absolute 'piece of cake'.... good visibility and turning circle with light steering. I have not found a space yet that the car would not fit with ease.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
One of the rear seat belts jammed on day of delivery. The clutch is very light. There is a rattle from the offside rear of the car, suspect rear hatch or suspension. Also an annoying vibration from the drivers door. All small points as it corners on rails and only pulls 3,000 rpm at 70 mph. Very economical.
What's most practical about your car?
Ease of parking and access to interior and boot
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Aircon and ABS
