Yes

£8,995

Very helpful, not pushy.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Noisy when idle, especially with air-con on. Do tend to feel all bumps in the road. High seating position means good visibility.
What's it like to park?
Very easy due to good visibility.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Plastic door trim on rear passenger door has come away slightly and catches on the drivers door when it is opened.
What's most practical about your car?
Nippy in urban areas and on motorways. Good visibility all round so easy to park.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated front windscreen clears misty screen within seconds. Good audio system.
