Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It is 1500KG of finest Swedish steel powered by a Swedish reengineered French engine. It is an old skool wafter - loads of torque, great engine note and can pick up her skirt when needed. Just don't expect to win too many races - especially if there are too many corners involved.
What's it like to park?
Lots of glass, amazing turning circle and a flat boot makes it incredibly simple to park

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The aircon needs regassing - but I knew it was on the way out when I bought it. The electric sunroof also doesn't like being opened fully!!
