Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent reposnse on the motorway. This is great to have when needed. The car handles corners very well on country roads. The supsension is a rather firm, but thats always a trade off with corner handling. I spend hours in the car for work travel and its been a pleasure so far rather than a chore.
What's it like to park?
No problem so far.

Nothing has gone wrong, so far it has surpassed my expectations.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
a) I constantly have my MP3 player plugged in to the USB port supplied. Great sound. b) Autolights off is great when keys removed from ignition. c) Half leather looks and feels good.
