Summary
What does this car say about you?
It says that I am practical and more concernedwith value for money than what the thing looks like. I think it looks great whilst others have said it was hideous.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Who cares what the neighbours think. My family all love it and my friends think it is just great but they could all be lying. I like it and that is what counts.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Absolutely. It looks better than the Berlingo and the Kangoo and it is a car that you can keep for many years due to the longevity of the engine. Loads of thse on the continent--we are car snobs in UK
What are you likely to buy next?
Will probably keep this one but would go for the same or similar if I could

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It drives like a French car. It rolls but you soon realise that it is not going to go on its side but it takes a bit of getting used to. The turbo diesel engine is remarkable.The clutch is very smooth and the gear lever makes you feel as if you are driving an HGV
What's it like to park?
Takes a bit of getting used to because when you look over your shoulder when reverse parking all you see is a massive space and some blind spots. Make sure you have plenty of space --

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
A wheel bearing went after 6000 miles but it was put right under the guarantee
What's most practical about your car?
Its high up off the ground so you get a great view. It is huge inside and it can be a van or a car or an estate. It also ahs an HND engine so it should go for miles without problems
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I love the sliding doors and the huge tail gate --never get wet when loading the car. The four speaker stereo is pretty good too.
