Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Have had a lot of problems with Media pack, with faulty reversing camera,electric door mirrors and more recently speedo and mileometer have packed up completely.Mpg is also very poor and much less than quoted figures.
What's most practical about your car?
Comfortable but firm ride. Plenty acceleration and reasonably roomy. Plenty extras but I am wondering whether this is actually an advantage as so much has gone wrong.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Reversing camera is very useful in combination with reversing sensors. Automatic wipers also useful.
