Lot of car for relatively little money.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent to deal with.

What's it like to drive?

Despite the size of the car it has proved extremely easy to drive in all conditions. It is easy to position on the road and responds well if the pace is quickened somewhat. The only negative one can offer is the slightly firm ride but it never is uncomfortable.

What's it like to park?

It has proved easier to park than one might have imagined. The rear view camera is a great asset in this connection.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No - reliability is exceptional. However, I have just had the four wheels realigned having suffered excessive tyre wear on the rears. Alignment of the rear wheels was way off which caused the problem.

What's most practical about your car?

Utterly quiet when driving particularly on motorways. Supreme comfort offered by the seats and all the bells and whistles that come as standard. A capacious boot although larger items can be awkward to insert.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Reversing camera.
