  • Driving it

    2 out of 5 2.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Engine performance is terrible. Dont get a small high powered engine in a large car, especially with the auto box. The car accelerated ok once on the move, but from a standing start the pick up is terrible. You have to time when you pull out into traffic because, when you put your foot down there is a few seconds delay until the engine picks up power, then you get a big surge of power when the turbo kicks in, then no power again as the revs raise.

    What's it like to park?

    Ok, with the parking sensors.

    Distronic cruise control works well and makes motorway driving easier.
