Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Smooth and relaxing. Very comfortable cruises easy have had good economy, Plenty in the 2.0 litre if I want to overtake. Only need to change gear on a hill if stuck behind someone who can't drive. Power steering makes in town easy. I don't have any trouble with the rear visibility. That's why you also have wing mirrors.
What's it like to park?
It's size is a tad tricky front and rear parking sensors help, but once used to the view no problems. If you can't park this buy a smaller car.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No
What's most practical about your car?
Luggage space, economy when carrying a large load on a German autobahn 44 mpg at a fair lick.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Front and rear parking sensors. Really love the electronic handbrake. Read previous review obviously person didn't read the manual. Car has hill start assist, just raise the revs lift the clutch and the handbrake will release itself. Hill starts are a doddle.
