Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A tale of two cars. Everyday it is smooth and docile to cruise around with the family enjoying the ride. Turn the TC off and it confidently becomes a b road fun factory. The excellent cornering ability never leaves you wanting and the torque from the 170ps engine pulls you through the turns and overtakes with ease. Many gear changes are necessary to get the most from the engine, while the high torque also allows you to cruise the motorways with rarely a change.
What's it like to park?
Good visibility and a "wheel on each corner" feel helps make this car a breeze to park. Front and rear sensors with the graphic on the console have remained accurate, clear and simple to use.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The voice recognition Bluetooth program has a limited vocabulary.
What's most practical about your car?
The brilliant diesel engine returning an excellent 50mpg.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The Tribu paint looks great, and rare. Parking sensors that really work! Touch screen console.
