What's it like to park?
It is quite big - ask my wife who hit it on the garage door-frame! Parking sensors would be a useful standard feature!

What's most practical about your car?
It is a comfortable and capable seven-seater. It easily tackles two adults and five children with a little luggage space too.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Looks of excellent gadgets - the extra interior mirror for viewing kids, the climate control/heated seats, the centre console storage, the button operate window/child locks, the electric parking brake, the secret storage areas, the automatic lights and wi
