  • Driving it

    What's it like to drive?

    The 147bhp diesel is quick enough to hold its own on motorways. It handles well for an upright car but in 2wd it can under steer in sharp corners when pushed, kept it in 4wd auto and it will sort that out. The car rides well on the road, not to soft and not to firm.

    What's it like to park?

    Very easy to park. Big mirrors, parking sensors, reverse parking camera and if all fails I stuck on a tow bar.

    The car is an all round practical and user friendly vehicle, no mater what I have used it for or asked it to do it accommodates.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The ASX 4 has all the toys I will need. There are many gadgets and drivers aids that I got used to very quickly and now take for granted. Best off for me are the blu-tooth, hands free, reversing camera, 4wd selector.
