  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It's quite nice. Excellent visibility, nice leather seats, 2 sunroofs, climate control. Could do with a bit more low down power & seems a bit under geared: A higher final drive or a sixth gear would be perfect. Feels a bit wallowy but will corner extremely well if pushed.

    What's it like to park?

    Very good visibility, but the front is longer than you think!

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Had to have a set of front discs & pads for the last MOT, but they were very worn when I bought it.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Seating: The back seats are individually removable, so I use four seats - massive space & legroom front & back.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Four wheel drive: It is exceptionally competent in snow - very easy to drive & undramatic.
