Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its a real dark horse - its not the fastest top end (after 125 MPH) but it goes like stink from the lights and can overtake effortlessly when you activate the kickdown. Like I said - can show the average boy racer a thing or two !
What's it like to park?
Like a double decker bus! - awful., but then its a big car not a Ford Ka or a Citreon C2
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Just Starter problem every once in a while - told its the flywheel missing teeth - common on big automatics like this.
What's most practical about your car?
Huge boot - and very good front heated windscreen.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated seats, trip/fuel computer and the auto box - its got sport mode for p***ing over boy racers and overdrive for economy. Cruise Control is excellent on the motorway- just select it and let it drive you - but dont fall asleep - its easy to start nodding off!
