Driving it

3 out of 5

What's it like to drive?
Great on motorways but chopy and uncomfortable on poor surfaces

What's it like to park?
Easy we have parking sensors but some car park spaces are tight but with slifing doors you can always get out of one of these even from the front seats.

Have you had any problems with the car?
Lots, gearbox replaced, clutch twice, battery jammed electric doors this first happened 2 days after taking delivery on holiday in devon. When the doors refuse to close you are stuck as you can't leave the car and it was full of luggage and kids. Not impressed I biought VW as I thought it was reliable. Even our Land Rovers were better than this.

What's most practical about your car?
Loads of space for people and luggage

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Electric doors were for 2 days until they refused to close and this happens fairly regularly
