Summary
What does this car say about you?
Either that I am a boring middle aged type, or that i know a decent motor when I see one.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like to ride in it, and it looks realy smart in the metallic finish and nice wheels. Goes well with my 450K house
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, firstly I shall never wear it out so will just get fed up with it and sell it one. You need to move on, but with price of fuel and Government tax bands, it will need a careful thought process.
What are you likely to buy next?
The lowest tax banded , best economy but largest vehicle that I can find for a bargain price. Until then I stick with Mondy

What's it like to drive?
Seems fine, accelerates, stops well, corners superbly

Hard, but that may be my poor parking skills. Back a long way from front!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No, but had only got 14K on clock and I have done around 12K miles. Runs 'like a Swiss watch'.

Shear size inside, really very comfortable indeed. Nice touches of 'luxury' for a common man.
