Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Despite being a bit taller than a normal car, it drives better than most ordinary hatchbacks. The best thing, given the state of UK roads, is the ride, which remains smooth regardless of the surface. You might not expect it to go round corners too well, but it actually enjoys being thrown around.
What's it like to park?
A doddle to park, being on slightly shorter than a Golf, the rear parking sensors are a must! The turning circle on this car is fantastic too.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing
What's most practical about your car?
It has a cabin almost as versatile as those of the best small people carriers. With a maximum load capacity of 1,760 litres — it comes in handy for trips to the tip. But even with the rear seats in place the boot space is 416 litres. The car’s upright and squared-off body design gives plenty of space for our 3 children. Headroom, legroom and shoulder room are all impressive. The rear seats slide backward and forwards for more or less legroom or luggage space, and with the centre seat removed, the two outer seats can be edged toward the centre of the cabin to give two passengers more comfort.
