On reflection I think it said I was stupid to change from a german brand.

Franchise

Wife liked it and very big discount
What was the dealer like?
Very keen to sell but I subsequently found out from another Honda dealer easy discounts of £5K available from dealers which was about what I got.Local dealer refused to bid to buy car back direct but made a derisory offer to the Mercedes dealer who tried to offload it for me
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very slow in comparison to other cars I've driven but not bad lacks feeling through steering.
What's it like to park?
Was impressed with the rear camera until I really needed it and it had fogged up
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
I bought this car kept it 12 weeks then sold it at a loss of some £7k. I hated it the ridiculous 31" between rear wheel arches. The lack of space in the back. The ridiculous speech control which would spout a stream of numbers back at me and do nothing
What's most practical about your car?
Remote closure of Tailgate but tailgate could not be opened remotely until all the doors were open so while you are loading the boot a villain could unload the car
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
ADAS absolutely superb, CMBS interesting, lane departure was a bit feeble !!Stupid having a sub woofer in the boot the dogs did not appreciate it
