Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's surprisingly good to drive, not as good as a similarly specced Mondao but it's not crap! There is however, a lack of feel through the steering wheel. That's only if you intend on driving like a 17 year old with his mates in the back though. Turn in to a corner to hard and you don't really know if the tyres have grip or not.
What's it like to park?
Parking isn't too bad the rear pillars between the rear seats and boot is the biggest blind spot other than that it's easy parking due to the length of this vehicle though, you'll find that there are not many spaces that are long enough so it will hang out in the road.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Hasn't missed a beat.
What's most practical about your car?
Most practical thing would have to be the boot space ease of access to getting the seats down flat.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The blind that opens and closes the glass panoramic roof it's like a party trick.
