Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The 135 engine is great, pulls really well and you need to watch your speed after cruising on the motorway as it's easy to exceed the speed limit.
What's it like to park?
Our car didn't have parking sensors and due to it been a booted saloon we found it at first hard to reverse, but you soon get used to it. Also the bonnet is quite long and due to the size of wheel the steering lock wasn't great, which all meant getting out of tight spaces could be difficult.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes, but nothing unexpected for the age of the car. Engine is a chain driven BMW unit and 200,000 miles would be easily possible.
What's most practical about your car?
Big boot for a saloon and interior space.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Dual climate control is a great feature to keep the cabin happy for both driver and front passenger.
