Nothing especially!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Usual flashy used car dealer!

What's it like to drive?

It picks up well if you push it, but you can watch the petrol needle literally move if you drive it hard. Its far thirstier than I expected.

What's it like to park?

Nightmare! Its massive! And awkward to see out of!

Thermostat is busted, and AirCon needs recharging. Also the Remote Fob has broken, in so much that it will not unlock the car, but will still lock it! Weird!

What's most practical about your car?

Massive boot, and space for four adults.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Onboard Computer with MPG, Miles Left in Tank, Trip Computer etc.
