  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It's a lovely car to drive, nice steering wheel, 6 six gear box. When you put your foot down there's power and it's really economical. Avg: 45 mpg but more when on the motorway.

    What's it like to park?

    Yes, rear visibility isn't great however you will more reassured by having parking sensors and I've driven many other cars just as bad.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Not as yet - only been trying the car a week.
