Summary
What does this car say about you?
I have kids
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Family think its nice, friends accept the fact I have a family and need the space.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No - it was for the room in the back. Probably won't need that when the children have grown out of their isofix car seats.
What are you likely to buy next?
Lexus R450h. I don't rate the service department. Not sure how it can take 4 days to change a windscreen and tell me that I need to pay for the center console, when I explained it just needed the screws put in properly it was done for free.

its fine to drive, I just wish the 2.5 was available when I bought mine as I would love to have a bit more power.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Heated front windscreen was faulty. Lid on the middle storage compartment came loose. Alarm was faulty apparently a common problem caused by water ingress due to the alarm module being put near the wheel arch. If you leave the doors open for too long while cleaning it, you get a low battery warning, another common problem corrected by a software update.
What's most practical about your car?
Having the 7 seats, so we can fit the grandparents in when they come to visit. Or being able to put all the back seats falt and having plenty of room for large loads.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Voice control is good for handsfree calling. Its not much use for changing the temperature.
