Driving it

On smooth roads its a total joy to drive. Responsive and quiet. However on bumpy roads its less happy, the suspension is quite hard and can be bumpy and noisy on bad surfaces but you put up with it because its so good to drive on good roads.
What's it like to park?
Easy enough, rear visibilty is hampered by the big spoiler but nothing to worry about.
