A joy to drive

The best car I've owned and arguably one of the best I've ever driven. I'm not a petrol head and I don't enjoy driving in the UK but I don't mind driving this. Its a car for somebody who appreciates cars and wants a decent looking, reliable, high quality build, peaceful and no frills machine. The car handles both heavy yet smooth and easy. The cabin is wonderfully quiet, full leather interior, no modern nonsense since its a 2015 version. Pretty good on fuel due to the electric motor. Snow mode works well having driven it in ice and slush in hilly areas, sport mode is very keen in low gears which is fun and handy. It feels like a chauffer type car. Looks great in gun metal grey and silver but mine is black.

It isn't without fault but the issues are minor for me. Ride height is low, the front seats are a bit tight across the shoulder, boot space is a bit tight and the engine noise and over-rev is jarring. Sat nav just dont bother its unintelligible.
