What does this car say about you?

When it was new it was quite rare and it impressed people who didn't realise how cheap it was.It still looks imposing but has lost its mystique.

Good solid family car with 4wd.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes if the price was right. It has served well and fitted the part excellently.

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

£12,000

September 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a deal through an online lease broker.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a 7 seater and this was a good deal.

What was the dealer like?

I visited a local dealer to take the car for a test drive and the dealer was excellent and I came close to buying from them but they couldn't get close to the price I got from the online broker.

What's it like to drive?

Good smooth, comfortable ride. It's no sports car but not a slouch either. Handles well and does not feel too heavy.

What's it like to park?

Easy enough. All round visibility ok and helped by rear parking sensors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Spacious with a rear row of seats that easily folds flat to give a massive boot space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Automatic windscreen wipers - they work brilliantly.
