Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Performance and handling are very good for the size of the car. The economy is nowhere near what is publicised, you have to drive very, very carefully to get anywhere near. Put you or foot down and you can forget about economy! There is very little engine, tyre or wind noise. There is a little hestitation from the gearbox when selecting reverse which can be frustrating.
What's it like to park?
It is a big, wide car. Forget that and you will struggle. Visability is pretty good although the 'A' pillar can swallow a car easily. Choose your space carefully and with the help of the parking sensors you will have no problem.
