Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Engine has plenty of torque, so you can make rapid progress without resoting to high revs. As with all modern cars, steering lacks feel. Only real complaint is that brakes are far too heavily servoed and not particularly progressive.
What's it like to park?
Coupe shape limits rear threequarter vision, but nothing too serious.
