Loved the low wide look of it.

What was the dealer like?

Great when they sold me the car, rubbish when trying to get problems sorted.

What's it like to drive?

Brilliant, don't have any problems overtaking, rarely have to change down, great on hills, unlike my previous car which needed to be in 1st or 2nd gear. From cold it needs a bit of coaxing, but is fine when warmed up.

Really easy, have no problems in supermarket car parks, and as with any car, I park a few inches from the kerb to preserve the alloys.

Had new wiper roters, front discs, and problem with handbrake.

What's most practical about your car?

Easily fits 4 adults, huge boot for the size of the car.

Xenon headlights, and keyless entry.
