Summary
What does this car say about you?
Family car but not a boring estate car, this car has gadgets and gizmos. Look at the automatic doors gliding open, the built-in rear blinds, the automatic boot and integrated childseat!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Friends are envious about the automatic doors and boot. Once inside they are impressed with the integrated childseat, the SatNav and the SD card slot.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Probably, although not sure we will need all the seats and space as the children get older and what happens when I have to park it in a normal space, not a parent & toddler space!!
What are you likely to buy next?
Don't know.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great. Comfortable seating position, doesn't feel like a big car. Smooth to drive and powerful. The start/stop and auto handbrake take a little time to get used to.
What's it like to park?
The rear camera and the front & rear sensors are very useful. Guess the car is only as good as the driver when it comes to parking.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Sliding doors needed oiling after a really heavy frost which stopped them closing. Once every window & the sunroof opened on their own during torrential rain! Only the once & don't know why.
What's most practical about your car?
Electric sliding rear doors & boot. Closely followed by the built-in blinds on the back windows, have the extra 2 seats in the boot (making it a 7-seater), the built-in SatNav with traffic updates, the SD card slot for music, the digital radio. Whether these are practical things or gadgets I'm not sure!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Lots.... Electric sliding rear doors & boot that you can open using the keyfob OR buttons on the dash OR the door itself. Plus I must rave about the SD card slot for my music.
