Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Easy to drive. Cruises all day with a twin axle caravan on tow at the legal limit and very unusual to have to change down a gear. None, or very little road noise, good lighting and great radio/C.D.
What's it like to park?
Not too bad but could do with sensors as rear window is quite small.
