    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Smooth, refined and comfortable. Very quiet, it goes round corners well enough but feels biased towards comfort and cruising. This is sensible and more appropriate for a family car than some super stiff pseudo sports car set up.

    Very easy, car has standard parking sensors front and rear with light steering.

    No

    What's most practical about your car?

    Plenty of space and cubby holes with a good sized, very usable boot.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    DSG gear box, very smooth and quick shifting, it is pricey but worth it.
