Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very stable. I drive fast and although there is a slight role, the system corrects well. Comfortable position with a lot of easy to reach controls. the 6 gears are close but fairly easy to get used to.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all. I enjoy driving it. My wife loves it. Big enough for the enormous Scottish Deerhound.
What's most practical about your car?
Terrific in snow and we get a lot in North East Scotland and we live in the Cairngorms National Park. So the 4 wheel drive is brilliant and the acceleration is very good. Slight delay on turbo.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control system on long runs. My wife loves the heated leather seats.
