Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The engine revs smoothly and accelerates quickly. The car maintains speed with no problems. Visibility is excellent and the cabin light and airy, especially with the glass sunroof. The ride is however slightly too firm and wind noise can be intrusive on the motorway.
What's it like to park?
Easy.
