  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    High riding but with well controlled body roll in corners. Excellent engine with plenty of go when you want it. I consider that the car returns good mpg (43-46) though the on board consumption computer is very optomistic to say the least.

    What's it like to park?

    Easy manoeuvrability and rear parking sensors make parking a doddle.
