Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A delight with good handling from the large tyres. Once I was used to its size and length with the low slung view out I could drive it like a much smaller car. Even the basic 2.0L diesel pulls well and gives ample performance with long legs for continental touring. The only downside is road noise from some makes of tyre eg continental.
What's it like to park?
Not easy as the extemities are difficult to judge and it is a long car - longer than the saloon by nearly a foot. It's also quite wide and the low sitting position makes it feel wider.
