    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Handles beautifully, may be a little harsh for some. Will cruise at M/way speeds happily all day. Tend to use 5th gear for cruising - treat as 4 speed almost on normal roads

    Easy to steer with PAS, but has huge turning circle - 3 point turns easily become 5 point turns
