Driving it
What's it like to drive?
For a diesel its very quiet even at motorway speeds and 50+mpg is possible. The car is quite happy to drive along at 70+ at barely 3000 revs.
What's it like to park?
Despite being a big car it is quite easy to park although the rear paking sensors do help.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Everything was fine for the first few months then the problems started. First the fan went, then front discs became warped and an annoying ratttle from behind the dash. In 2010 alone the parking brake, front suspension and timing belt all had to be changed at a cost of nearly £2500
What's most practical about your car?
The space and the 2 fold flat rear seats, the car will seat 7 as long as its kids in the back.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Auto lights and wipers and the parking brake (when it works!!!!)
