Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very disappointing apart from motorway cruising when it's fine. Dangerous lag when pulling out of junctions, gearbox generally selects an inappropriate gear and the ride at low speed is akin to a horse and cart.
What's it like to park?
Easy-peasey with Parktronic at front and rear.

Almost totally reliable over 75,000 miles in less than 3 years.
What's most practical about your car?
Excellent seats (fully electric with memory on both sides at the front). Still lots of room in the back with me driving and a capacious boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise/limiter.
