  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Handles very well, corners like glue, superb on motorway, bit sluggish round town and not the quickest of the mark, brakes brilliant.

    What's it like to park?

    Hard to judge front and back due to low seat and long bonnet, you end up parking short most of the time but never hit it yet. Need to have the parking sensors really.

    Auto choke sometimes revs too high, standard tyres wear quickly but replaced with Continentals which are much better, otherwise perfect still.

    Smooth, comfortable, lots of room more like an estate when seats are down.
