Equipment and practical details

Generation and equipment description ↗

Folding rear seats
This changes the balance between passenger and luggage space. Check whether the folded surface is level and whether long items can pass through.
Disc brakes on both axles
On a version with disc brakes on both axles, confirm the front and rear disc sizes and types separately. The layout name alone does not establish disc diameter or ventilation.
Heated steering wheel
Check the control and whether the rim heats evenly.
Seat-position memory
Check that positions can be stored and recalled, particularly if several drivers will use the car.
Steering-wheel reach adjustment
On a specification with reach adjustment, the distance to the steering wheel can be changed. Check the adjustment range and column lock with the seat in your usual position.
Ventilated seats
Try the different settings and listen to the fans. Seat upholstery alone does not establish that this feature is fitted.
