Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Smooth, refined, good acceleration when needed , quiet at speed.
What's it like to park?
It comes with the "self park"... - thought it was a gadget and the instructions are woefully poor..but ONCE you work it out its great.. - Front and rear parking sensors are very very good.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing so far.
What's most practical about your car?
Flexibility of seating - Added the flex rear seats - everyone is impressed by the rear seat space. Once you get used to the footbrake "HOLD" function its second nature.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Flex seating at rear. AND the radar sensor for distance... - although perhaps more people cut in front of me when I am on a motorway I feel safer and its alerted me more than once about a car slowing harder ..
