The interior is spacious. There is plenty of head and leg room. There is ample room in the back to fit three adults without any of them feeling uncomfortable. The boot is spacious and this can be extended thanks to the split/fold rear seats. Visibility for the driver is good. This makes it easier to drive in built up areas and parking is also made easier. The steering wheel is adjustable for height only. Some people may find it harder to find a comfortable driving position.
