Reasonably nice thing with a pretty gutless engine - it has quite snappy takeoff but not much above that. It did seem to do incredible MPG though. Ride was also pretty bad. It was very soft but little in the way of control - really shows that for comfort and control you need an air suspension or adaptable system. As per usual it hasn't a fucking clue what the prevailing speed limit was at any point in time - though that seemed fair enough as it was barely ever clearly signposted in the countryside either - predominantly you had to know that if you were in a built up area it was probably 50kph
Ironic we had the C class estate in Portugal where parking was not an issue and an E in Italy where I had to jam it in a far too small public parking space and hold my breath that it didn't have half the side scratched to pieces when I got back.
I also was meaning to ask - on one of the toll routes it wouldn't take the ticked on the way out. Pressing the assistance button didn't get us a person but just gave us a minimum toll to pay. I paid that so did not get a "toll not paid" receipt which you seem to need to pay it online. I emailed the motorway toll company but no response so I'm expecting I'll get a bill for a £12 toll and £288 fine in about 12 months time
ETA - it was hot!
that’s not allowed
