Summary
What does this car say about you?
No idea errrr ....I like to be different.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Think its alright. Nice colour fantastic spec.
Would you buy this car again and why?
In Executive/GT spec yes. But would look for the 2.2 diesel version basically because I fancy trying the twin turbo.
What are you likely to buy next?
If I can maybe a 508 estate though not the top spec as it has an semi automatic box. Or a new Mondeo estate.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its a good car to drive. All major controls are nicely weighted. Seats are comfortable after many miles. Motorway driving is easy with plenty of power and the expected economy from a diesel. I've noticed a few times odd camber roads can cause over the left shoulder view problems basically because of the small rear quarter windows. But as I say only on odd camber. Other than that its always enjoyable to drive.
What's it like to park?
Parking takes some getting used to. As the back of the car is of an unusual shape it does feel like looking down a tunnel. So rear parking sensors are a must and front would have been a plus because you can't really see where the bonnet ends.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only real fault is the panoramic sunblind has jumped the rails and this means a visit to the dealer for it to be fixed.....expensive. But annoyed as its a really badly designed system in my opinion.
What's most practical about your car?
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
When it worked the panoramic roof.
