Driving it
What's it like to drive?
For a family wagon it has nice precise steering, good road holding and ride. Slightly grabby clutch and notchy first gear. Long low sloping windscreen means vison a little impaired by the pillar, but that's a minor quibble and a by product of it's class leading drag coefficient.
What's it like to park?
Good steering lock, no problems. It's no Smart, but nor is it a Cadillac.
