  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Excellent. Very comfortable and minimal noise on the motorways. Around town with the windows open it can sound like you are pushing a bucket full of spanners along the road. But you get used to it.

    What's it like to park?

    Very easy. The rear camera works well and the lines on the screen help you to line up and straight and know when to stop so that the boot can be opened. Only gripe. The audible reverse distance warning should have been retained in addition to the camera.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Not a thing has gone wrong with the car.

    What's most practical about your car?

    The additional seats. Emergency short trip use only. Definitely not suitable for long journeys except for early primary school kids. The additional seats (which fold flat) also provide more room in the boot.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The built in Sat Nav is excellent.
