Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It drives well, has lots of power and will cruise fast without slowing for hills. It does however lean too much in corners and also the ride can be a bit bumpy on certain roads. Overall it is nice, and feels new to drive at 81k
What's it like to park?
Parking is really easy backwards as it is square and flat, the front takes some getting used to beacause you cant the the bonnet at all. But is quite short at the front
