Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A dream. Very comfortable seats. Feels planted on the road and totally unaffected by poor road surfaces compared with the Mercedes E class I had before. Responsive engine which positively purrs when floored. Controls laid out well. I regularly do a 400 mile run and I arrive feeling like I have just been to the shops round the corner.
What's it like to park?
A complete breeze with the sensors, though they do stop you well short of another object. Small turning circle makes getting into those tight places very easy.
