Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

My vehicle doesn't have the projector headlights, (angel eyes), and is really the only thing that I dislike. It was a £3000 option when I bought if but I couldn't justify the extra expense. It has three options for changing gear. It can be a normal automatic where you just put it into drive and go, it can be a semi automatic using paddles on the steering wheels where after reaching top gear it reverts to being a normal automatic. There is also the choice of using the tiptronic gear selector where you push the gear lever to the left and silply pull back to change up or push forward to change down. It is comfortable to drive over a long distance and has plenty of room in the back to comfortably seat three adults. Came complete with heated seats, climate control and sat nav. Best tank range I have had is 750 miles on a tank of fuel which included motorways and mixed driving. Main servicing intervals are based on miles or time/date whichever comes first. Mine tend to be based on time/date as I don't do the miles. All in all I am really happy with car and would recommend it.
