Driving it

An absolute pleasure in comparison to previous vehicle. Quick off the mark and through the gears, quiet when cruising, good forward vision view. Can be grumbly in 2nd at low speeds.
What's it like to park?
Thick pillars and rear headrests can restrict reversing view but good PAS helps manoeuvrability. Deceptively big small car.

No major problems. Oil level gauge intermittently flashes empty when physical check reveals level fine. Sunroof occasionally notches position when open. CD changer defective when purchased. A/C not especially cold.

Spacious boot (for my needs), folding rear seats, diesel transmission.

Too many to list - folding wing mirrors, self dimming rear viw mirror, tilt/slide electric sunroof, cruise control, total closure alarm etc etc.
