Wanted a different luxury 4x4. Previous car was an Audi A6 3ltr Quattro.

What was the dealer like?

Reasonable. Niggles resolved albeit one took threat of CC action before resolved.

What's it like to drive?

Surprisingly agile in town and breezes along on the motorway and doesn't even notice hills, even when towing a 1 tonne camper. Very responsive and positive steering in all conditions.

What's it like to park?

Easier than any previous car I've owned. Very accurate front & rear sensors, a rear view camera and automatic nearside tilting mirror makes it easy to get in the smallest space without problems.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing at all. Pure pleasure to drive and the ride is the best of any luxury car I have had previously. Climate control 5/10 but cools very quickly.

What's most practical about your car?

Easy to climb in and out of. Loads of space for passengers. Easy access to rear load space with fold down platform to sit on and change boots.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

So many to choose from! Best has got to be the separate diesel heater controlled remotely. A boon during last winter. A defrosted and warm car to get into in the morning. 2nd has got be the cooled front seats.
