    What does this car say about you?

    family orientated. i remember what it was like to have to squeeze in to the back of a car as a kid. i can comfortably sit in the back of this now with the drivers seat in place for me to drive.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    nice car. roomy and comfortable.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    yes. excellent value for money. does exactly what it says on the tin. easily holds a family and all the trappings comfortable for a long journey. or pull up the extra 2 seats to take the grand parents out as well when we get there.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    don't know. i had been looking at the s-max, but with a saving of 4 grand it was a no brainer. the wife didn't want a car that big really, and i just needed it to be comfortable for me to drive when we went away.
