Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very smooth, the smoothest engine/gearbox i have driven and i have had BMW's legendary 3.0 straight six diesel auto previously! Handles well, and very comfortable.
What's it like to park?
I have the front and rear sensors that come with the 'match' spec so very easy, but the flat back and squat front end would make it easy to park regardless.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing to date.
What's most practical about your car?
When you fold the rear split seats down, it has a wide boot opening which means you can get a hell of a lot of stuff in it! Also its still compact for parking, getting around town.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
DSG Gearbox is one in a million, Superb!
