Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Not too bad; living in London I find there's enough power from the turbo diesel engine when required, some of the gear ratios are just out of sync with driving speeds - end up staqying in third mroe often than I'd like.

OK, I don't have parking sensors, they would be a good buy on a second hand model.
