  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Great. Torquey engine, pliant and comfortable ride albeit a little soft in corners. Handles well for an estate and can go anywhere you put it, on or off road. Marvellous.

    Simple with parking sensors front and rear.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Door locks worn, rear electric window motor replaced but the car is 10 years old so all reasonable defects. Other than that the car has been sweet as a nut.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Tough all round so it carries my 4 year old twins and all their mess without batting an eyelid. Great all rounded in all weathers. Most practical all round car I've ever owned - period.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Air suspension that you can raise and lower.
