There is ZERO legroom behind the driver - even a short driver. The back seats are for shopping, not people. My 4 year old daughter couldn't even fit in mine.
But so what? No one buys a Shamal for its "family friendly" skills!
£45k in a Shamal is a far better bet than the equivalent spend in a Gran Tourismo, Ghibli III or QP VI, but don't expect it to be quite so useable. But if all you want is a high days and holidays fun car, that you can sell for more than you paid for it a few years down the line, a Shamal could well be a good choice.
