Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's a fairly smooth drive and being an automatic,the gear changes take care of themselves.It takes a bit of time to build up a head of steam,so it's not for the boy racer!
What's it like to park?
It's a fairly long car,so takes a bit of skill to park,especially as there are no parking sensors on this age of model.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
In the nine years I've had it,apart from tyres,I've had to have a new starter motor,alternator and battery.
What's most practical about your car?
With the back seats down,no end of 'stuff' can be crammed into it.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
A proper spare wheel;so many cars nowadays don't have one!
