Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

space, sliding doors, looked more like a car than a mpv.

What was the dealer like?

extremely helpful, allowed us to test drive the car for the whole weekend.

What's it like to drive?

I find it very responsive and easy to drive. Its light and pretty quick, it doesnt feel like a big car.

What's it like to park?

fine, i had the parking sensors fitted to the car, (for free)which is helpful especially when i have four kids in the back all chatting.

Have you had any problems with the car?

only the battery was a bit duff....at the beginning (first two weeks) it was a bit flat if i didn't drive it for 48hours, they replaced it.

What's most practical about your car?

kids can get in the car safely without hitting the car doors against other doors or walls! Ease of driving it in town.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

cd player, i like it that you can put the 6 cds in the player rather than in the cd changer box. Tinted windows in the back for the kids, is also something i couldnt do without now.
