  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Torque is just fantastic. Pulls with the slightest prod on the accelerator. Handles really well for it's size.

    What's it like to park?

    Very easy, although I am sure some will find it quite a large car to park.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Diversity antenna stopped working, so remote central locking did not work. Thankfully the key still started the car. £350 to replace.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Large boot for the dogs and the fantastic fuel range. Mostly M-Way can see 600+ miles to a tank and this is with still pressing on.
