I test-drove one of these yesterday, a 200 BHP petrol-engined model, and wonder if other OCUKers share my views.
Firstly, you need to understand that I am tall - 6'4" - and tall in the trunk rather than the legs. I also have long feet. My current car is a top of the range diesel 2013 Skoda Yeti.
The seat was really uncomfortable. It was a hard leather affair with a prominence just at the base of my shoulder blades.
The rear-view mirror was attached to a large assembly. Since my eye-line is near the top of the rear-view mirror, this partially blocked my vision to the forward left. Not as much as on a Maserati Ghibli, though. The rear view itself was quite small - not as clear as my Skoda Yeti - and this was evident when I tried a three-point turn, though the reversing camera helped.
The road-holding was not as good as my Yeti. I drove it on the South Deeside road and through Altens and Cove, for those who know Aberdeen.
