  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Fantastic. 6-speed Auto box is really smooth, and the V6 engine pulls great. It is just sooooo comfortable. I bought this car as a stop-gap to last me 6 or so months, but still have it today because I like it so much. On the motorway it's absolutely brilliant, and quite economical for a car this size and age (30-35 mpg) around town it's good to drive also, but the economy is bad due to it being a big auto (15-20mpg). I bought it at 90,000 and it has now done 136,000.

    What's it like to park?

    Fine, although mirrors could have been bigger. Mine has reversing sensors, and they work well.
