Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes got a good deal from the dealer, I felt that they were looking to sell units to keep up their targets

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Looked a different car from the norm, had a lot of features other cars simply did not have,

What was the dealer like?

Excellent, cannot fault them

What's it like to drive?

Generally very good, for me its a little to firm in the suspension as you feel all the road bumps etc

What's it like to park?

No problem as it has parking sensors front and rear and visibility all round is good

Have you had any problems with the car?

Lots, the first week the aircon packed up took 3 weeks to rectify,needed new unit, then the heated seats packed up this took another 3 weeks as this is a built in unit under the drivers seat and being leather has to be specially made, the front bumper has slightly fallen away from it mountings so there is a gap under the offside front light, then the car started to "kangeroo" down the road, something to do with the engine management system, so yet another visit to the dealer, now I have totally lost all confidence in the electronics of the car, but as a car it is extremely nice to drive and the layout is superb, so am reluctant to get rid of it but I cannot continue with its unreliability. p.s. The dealers have been brilliant in all cases of repair work

What's most practical about your car?

The speedometer its full on in your face so youknow all the time exactly your speed, makes dials oldfashioned

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Front and real parking sensors,speed limitor, trip computor
