Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Brilliant, the Auto 'box and the 2.0 HDi 110 Diesel engine work together perfectly. I do 20,000 miles a year (mostly on motorways). It cruises very happily at 90 mph without too much wind/engine noise.
What's it like to park?
The rear headrests do block the rear screen but once you get used to that, parking is 'OK'.
