Driving it
What's it like to drive?
This car is no speed demon as far as acceleration is concerned but on the motorway once it gets above 60 it seems to just glide along effortlessly. It is a very quiet and smooth car to drive and the ride and handling are brilliant.
What's it like to park?
Never had a problem to park anywhere as the car is mounted with parking sensors(I thing manufacturer fitted) So yes very easy even for a woman to do it effortless.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Since the purchase one thing went wrong which I was warned about is that after running for 50k it is big chance that head gasket is more likely to go... So it went and costed me 1200£ to fix it.
What's most practical about your car?
It has a simple but practical interior with very comfy seats,and everything else just in the right place where it should be.electric windows and mirrors come as standard and airbags for driver and passenger.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
For me personally I think the best part of the car is the heat up front seats, because wen you get early in your car it is always freezing, till you push the button and warm the seats up.
