    In fairness (if this is a concept that can be applied to Journos) he did wrap it up with a positive view of the vehicle.

    If you're going to go anywhere remotely remote then maybe this is the choice.

    As for the ergonomics...he's right

    I lean forward and bump my head on the steering wheel every time I use the hand brake..

    Same applies to the ignition key insertion..which is why the medical term "key hole surgery" was coined

    I had a vertically challenged passenger recently...instinctively he reached for the hand hold normally above the door only to grab air. He should have been a rear seat passenger they are catered for. The humiliation of it (his not mine).

    So what is wrong with having to fit the car...if it doesn't fit don't drive it or modify it.

    I think there was a positive message.

    And after all what other vehicle you can buy these days with an analogue timepiece in the dashboard...a Maserati maybe

    Actually that was much better than I was expecting. It still has all the predictable, tired old criticisms though. Ergonomics (I still don't know what they mean), things not where you expect them, blah, blah. And... "My elbow hits the window when I turn." Well open it, d'head!
