Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very nice. Obviously it suffers from being a bit tall, but drives / handles well and the diesel provides more than enough power.
What's it like to park?
Just about the easiest vehicle I've ever had to park due to superb all-round visibility.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not yet. Had exactly the same model previously and had no problems despite me doing huge mileage. (Unlike my MkII model on which everything that could go wrong, did - often twice!) The MkIII is obviously a big improvement.
What's most practical about your car?
Load capacity, plus great MPG for a big vehicle. 45 MPG is not difficult, 40 about average.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The ability to do just about anything you want with the seating arrangement!
