Summary
What does this car say about you?
I've got a lot of children.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They know we have a lot children.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. With 4 small children we need a big car. Having tried a tradition mpv when the extra seat was up we had very little boot space. We can now fit all the children, the dog, three bikes and a pushchair into the car. As the children get bigger there will be plenty of space for their growing legs and we will still have the boot space for the weekly shop.
What are you likely to buy next?
The same. With a 5 year warranty, all the options and at least 30 mpg, plus a good drive I would be foolish to pay more for one of the more popular van mpvs on the market. A similar spec VW or Mercedes would cost twice as much.

Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£14,000
When did you buy the car?
November 2010
Did you get a good deal and why?
Dealer was great. The car was registered to the company ane being sold as one of the only used vans at the time in Wales. We test drove a new van and decided to purchase the van a little over 2 years old with 20000 miles on the clock.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Family size.
What was the dealer like?
The dealer was extremely helpful, not at all pushy and gave us time and space to try the car seats out in the van and test drive it with the whole family.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely. Powerful. Great driving position and view. Fantastic tow vehicle.
What's it like to park?
Okay. You soon get use to it. The rear parking sensors are helpful. easily fits into the spaces at the local supermarket and even easier if you can get the larger parent and toddler spaces. Multi stories can be an issue with the height restrictions.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The full cap release sitch. Fixed under the great 5 year warranty.
What's most practical about your car?
Size. The boot is huge as well as being able to sit 8. Unlike other larger cars when sitting 8 it still holds everything you need for a family day out and more!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The children love the mood lighting being able to choose the colour. Whilst up front driving it must be the simple heating controls for front and rear.
