I have had an auto six speed one of these for the week .
I have to say I am impressed but then my daily drive is a ten year old 4x4!
It handles well, good acceleration. Smooth,effortless. Despite putting it through its paces in Sport mode err a number of times in Lake District and Yorkshire Dales etc it has still done just over 53mpg
The auto engine switch off in traffic with auto restart when you take foot off brake would drive me mad (there is a button to turn it off). It just seems like a load of stress on the battery and starter. Doubtless it saves money in congested areas. Also the fancy keyless key start seems OTT. Oh and the electric handbrake. I wonder how many electrical gremlins will appear in 15 years time......
Just got to get to Manchester airport in morning in all the forecast bad weather. Oh joy.
