Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great. Quiet frugal diesel, floats over Polish pothole roads, eats up km on the motorway and drives "premium car" Polish drivers insane when it effortlessly leaves them behind at trafffic lights (very rarely done of course Mr Officer).
What's it like to park?
Piece of cake with camera.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nope. Anyway, covered by a 3 year pan European warranty.
What's most practical about your car?
Ride height, comfort, loads of space and hidey holes, easy to park, big but not ridiculous like Landcruiser or Escalade.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Bose speakers and subwoofer. Elvis sounds great.
