They love it, think it's a completley ridiculous given the baby in the way, but the big doors, large boot and leather make it pretty practical without being boring.

So far yes, Had a big ass megane and loved it, find the French cars a little qwerky but pretty with great diesel engines.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The 18" alloys are great although on rough roads it can be quite tiresome. The 4 wheel sterring is precise at low speeds although took some getting to use too. The 180BHP is smooth and quick, not really hot hatch more grand tourer although plenty of speed when pressed.
What's it like to park?
Its ok, rear parking sensor helps as visibilty is poor, its long at the front which could cause issues.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not as yet after, only had 4 weeks.
What's most practical about your car?
The fact I can get my golf clubs in the boot (essential Criteria on the coupe I was going to buy).
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Its packed with gadget, the BOSE stereo and sat nav is excellent (although it does not work using postcodes !!), the key less entry and start is a bonus, got all the toys you would expect on a £26k car (if new).
