    What was the dealer like?

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Feels to me like a sports car. Firm suspension, tactile controls especially leather steering wheel, supportive sports seats, corners flat, tons of grip. The engine is super - smooth and quiet but not especially powerful. Firm suspension over speed bumps and at low speed less comfortable than I am used to.

    What's it like to park?

    Easy, though like a lot of cars it's hard to judge the end of the nose.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Needed new exhaust, bought stainless one guaranteed for life of car for same price. Also remote plippers had been crushed by previous user and gave up the ghost (change the batteries rather than press harder!). and were expensive at the dealers. ebay came to the rescue for the units and the programming instructions.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Spacious five seater with headrests, huge boot and really classy folding rear seats.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    I love the 8 - spoke alloys, easy to clean and look great. Air con useful too, great dehumidifier in winter.
