Driving it

Very good with rear parking sensors.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only problem was a stone in the front brake assembly!
What's most practical about your car?
The windscreen wipers park vertical into the screen pillars. This means when you use the screen wash the wipers come down and push the road dirt into a drain at the bottom of the screen. and not up and over the car. Car stays cleaner longer!!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sat nav./ radio with a second screen in the dash display.
