Great space for the kids in the back even my eldest who is taller than me, a cavernous boot, the rear seats fold and you can get a 3m piece of timber in there pushed up to the passenger seat.

My 2 favourite parts of the car are the auto box and tip tronic , and the cruise control, for long journeys put the box in full auto, set the speed and just cruise, no speeding tickets for me.
