Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Not quick but quick enough for overtaking etc (it's heavy at 1700kg), handles fine and cruises well, I find it relaxing and very comfortable.
What's it like to park?
It was great until the rear sensor stopped, now it's a wee bit difficult but I haven't helped by adding privacy glass!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Well it's done 105,000 miles now so things will go wrong but apart from ball joints and replacement discs and pads, it's been pretty reliable. The rear parking sensor has stopped 90% of the time, replaced rear wiper mechanism and today the water pump, but I consider it pretty good.
What's most practical about your car?
Good size boot, split tailgate fantastic for my dogs,also I can fit my f/s mountain bike upright with one third of the seat down and still fit in 2 dogs and 4 adults!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Glass roof, cruise control and radio text system. Also auto lights, wipers and rear mirror.
