  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Lovely car to drive. Quick on the roads, comfortable and with sport mode has a turn of pace that you dont normally get from autos.

    What's it like to park?

    Front and rear parking sensors make it easy to park, especially as it is a long car and the seating position is relatively low.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Generally good. The battery died after approx 9 months but that isnt unexpected on a 4 year old car. It has suffered from being keyed twice so not a car to be parked on busy roads.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Easy to drive, lots of tech to make things easier.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Telephone bluetooth integration.
