Had previous model; liked the main dealer customer service level.

What was the dealer like?

Helpful; knowledgeable;friendly; very efficient.

What's it like to drive?

Good solid acceleration through all gears -will certainly get there and surprise a few others on the road; really effortless excellent cruising in 6th gear; quite a lot of roll if driven hard into corners; quite a lot of road and wind nosie at speed.

What's it like to park?

Easy - though I have had rear parking sensors fitted which were not standard; reversing camera is OK but not the best I have seen; overall visibility is fine.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not a single problem so far in 20 months.

What's most practical about your car?

Large boot (without middle seats folded down) which will take two golf bags and two trolleys. Folding seats is very easy and they fold completely flat.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Satnav is good and hands free telephone works very well. However, if you use headlights in daytime then you cannot see the satnav (or any other) display on the screen as everything dims dramatically - serious design fault.
