Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A dream. This is the easiest car to drive that I have ever had. Excellent road holding with a very smooth ride and impressive acceleration when needed. Cruise control is very easy to use.

Easy. Sensors warn at an appropriate distance and visibility is very good.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
13.3.13. Split in a vacuum pipe - repaired immediately; no other problem at all - totally reliable.
What's most practical about your car?
Every control is at your fingertips, exactly where it should be, making the car almost an extension of your body and a dream to drive.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Motorised seats with memory. This saves a lot of time and trouble in getting back to the correct driving position after someone else has driven the car.
