Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its a grower as I had to get my head around the CVT gearbox with no gear changes at first. A little more power would not go amiss (use to C220 turbo diesel) but in Sport mode it's very responsive and can be driven quickly especially on twisty bits. Handling on the F-Sport is superb and goes around corners as on rails with superb comfy seats holding you in position.. On the road it feels rock solid and safe with excellent brakes.
What's it like to park?
Parking is easy with down tilting side mirrors while reversing along with a reversing camera.
