Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Excellent! The 130 PD TDI engine is a fantastic power plant (If a bit unrefined when revved)and gives relentless power delivery across the rev band and is great fun between 2000-4000rpm. On fast twisty B-Roads it holds the road exeptionally well with minimal bodyroll and the ESP is always there to lend a helping hand.
What's it like to park?
Parking sensors along with light steering make it a doddle.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing Major...some minor glitches though. Sticking electric window and seat belt pre-tensioners starting to fail.
What's most practical about your car?
Great passanger space for 4 occupants and huge boot is ideal for the weekly shop.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated Leather seats!
