Now for part 2!

The drive down to Wakefield was much more comfy than I expected. After a little mucking about with the seat, the pedals were not as uncomfy as I thought at first.

This car has cruise control, which I have never used before. I decided to give it a go. It was a bit creepy to be honest - not changing speed and feet off the pedals. Was really useful for the few 50mph zones in road work areas. I wouldn't use this for anything else though.

The steering wheel was a bit annoying. Because the centre part of it doesn't move, the spokes of the steering wheel point away from you. This makes it really awkward to grip your hand round the spokes, which is normally how I like to drive on motorways.

As I thought, the radio reception got lost too often for my liking. This always happens at specific bits on the M74/M6, but with this car it happened more often than normal.

This is the heaviest feeling car I've driven. Certainly felt safe in it. The deisel injection thingymajig was great for overtaking.

I like this car more than I expected to when I first got it; particularly for long motorway journeys.
