Driving
Very quiet and smooth. Can only hear road noise. Tends to roll a bit during cornering but that's offset against the smooth ride.
Performance
Performance sedate but accelerates well at mid range and makes for safe and confident overtaking. It is in fact the opposite of a sports car but goes when necessary!!
