Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It is very slow to get going but once its up there its ok, it will sit at 80 all day, and i mean ALL day. i have twice now travelled into Europe totaling 1,200 miles each way and apart from stopping to fill up it just keeps going!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only the other week when the Car died on the A1, it turned out to be a broken earth strap that was replaced by a friendly man in a Yellow Van!
What's most practical about your car?
Its an estate so can get quite a bit in the back with the seats down, although the seats dont fold down level with the floor which is a shame.
