A powerful well handling economic car with all the luxuries you need
Too many extras should be standard for a car in this class
As a doctor I do not do a particular big mileage but a lot of stop start driving on short trips. The diesel engine is very responsive and economical and the power sensitive steering excellent at roundabouts and on housing estates as well as narrow windy lanes. The car interior is luxury itself and I liked the Parktronic as an extra as I am always reversing into bollards and my wife is a hopeless parker. There is plenty of room for four people though the head room is a little restricted for my 6 foot 3 inch boys
I went for the pale leather upholstery and found the door sills and surrounds were similarly fitted which have led to unsightly scuff marks which are hard to shift. The split rear seats should not have been an optional extra and the climate control is not intuitive
