Family man who likes quality cars.

Love the seven seats and in car luxury but a bit of a boring image.

Another seven seater. Like the VW so it's a serious contender.

£28,000

When did you buy the car?

March 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not particularly, dealer did not offer much discount since there is a high demand for the car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a family car that can seat 7 on occasions.

What was the dealer like?

Very efficient, pleasure to deal with.

What's it like to drive?

It is a dream to drive. The Diesel engine is very quiet and eats up the motorway miles.

What's it like to park?

Difficult. I have bumped a few cars when parallel parking. I should have paid extra for the rear parking sensors. My bad.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing has faulted to date. The electronic handbrake is a real pain. I have to double check to see that it has engaged. I now just leave the car in gear since its easier than fiddled with the handbrake.

What's most practical about your car?

Seven seat option and massive boot space when not using all seven seats. In five seat mode the boot space is more than adequate. I also like the fact that its 30k between services. Says a lot about the quality of the car and a huge saving on car maintenance costs.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Lots of nice gadgets. I like the SD card feature for playing my music from. I have Travelled around Europe extensively and the sat nav has been really useful. The kids love the heating controls for the second row passengers.
