Excellent! The car had a huge list of extras worth almost 5k although only paid for standard car because of 4000miles on clock. It has leather, sat nav, parking sensors, lane departure warning system, heated seats, directional xenon headlamps and more

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The parking sensors tend to become 'faulty' now & again. One tyre pressure monitor broke which costs £100 to fix. The computer believes it can do over 6000 miles on a single tank! The breaks squeak like a lorry which we cannot seem to fix!
What's most practical about your car?
The space and the power from the engine - good for towing caravans. This is also helped by the adjustable suspension.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sat nav - a great benefit, guided us around paris and to the south of france no problem.
