Driving it
What's it like to drive?
First car of many owned over the last 49 years that I cannot fault. The word used over and over again is "effortless". On our 1000 mile journey it goes over steep, twisting mountain passes with no effort; changes gear at the correct time every time. It cruises on dual carriageways at legal limits effortlessly and returns 53 MPG overall. On one day section of journey it gave 62 MPG! Remarkable.
What's it like to park?
Easy with all round sensors and parking aid.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Slight window rattle fixed quickly and efficiently.
What's most practical about your car?
Great boot even with hood down.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Hood down at every opportunity so air scarf and windscreen spoiler very welcome.
