Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The all weather tyres and grip control are something I would definitely want on my next car as is the rear parking camera which makes parking in tight spots an easier option than just using parking sensors. The panoramic sunroof does let in light to the car, without which it might have felt l a little claustrophobic after the airiness of my previous car (C3 Picasso). Because I am short-legged, I have to have the seat a long way forward and it took getting used to as the front roofline/sun visor are very close and you can catch your head on the visor if you forget it is down when you get in. The car has had a lot of admiration from younger drivers due to her quirky looks and ripcurl markings on the car.

How reliable do you find the car?

The car has only had to go in for its annual service, a recall on a particular item and to change tyres. I have found the car very reliable.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I have used the grip control on climbing out of a muddy field where the roadway had been pitted by lorries trying to get out of a slopped exit and in snow. It managed it effortlessly where other vehicles were slipping and sliding/had stalled. The all weather tyres hold the road superbly in rain and icey conditions.
