  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Great, got plenty of power behind it and handles really well. Always feels like you know exactly where the wheels are and it gives very little body roll for a big car.

    What's it like to park?

    Very easy, plenty of visibility out of the bac and sides, and it has a reversing sensor.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Had to have some welding done for it's MOT, but it is a 10 year old car so some work to be expected. It has been incredibly reliable for the last year that I've had it and I knew the chap who had it before who had no problems.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Plenty of space inside. All the rear seats fold in various ways and can be removed completely in less than a minute!

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Reverse Parking Sensor and Automatic Climate Control. Both very handy and make it very easy to drive but make you a bit lazy!
