Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's not very performant. Not all that quiet on the motorway. CVT gearbox and control is great. Eye Level Driver information screens don't have a huge amount of helpful information (lots of silly tree animations, but you have to look down to see any information you actually need while driving along).
What's it like to park?
Parking is fine, with Rear Parking sensors and camera.
