Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Smooth and responsive automatic gearbox. Engine pulls strong and is quick enough to keep up with other vehicles despite being a 4x4. As this is XS model you get 17' alloy' wheels instead of the 18'' alloy wheels which are on the HSE, on country roads the car does feel a little top heavy but handles surprising well considering the height and weight.
What's it like to park?
Easy to park, front and rear parking sensors with good all round visibility.
