Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Fantastic. 6-speed Auto box is really smooth, and the V6 engine pulls great. It is just sooooo comfortable. I bought this car as a stop-gap to last me 6 or so months, but still have it today because I like it so much. On the motorway it's absolutely brilliant, and quite economical for a car this size and age (30-35 mpg) around town it's good to drive also, but the economy is bad due to it being a big auto (15-20mpg). I bought it at 90,000 and it has now done 136,000.

What's it like to park?

Fine, although mirrors could have been bigger. Mine has reversing sensors, and they work well.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Air con compressor. - bought a replacement and had it fitted for £60.

What's most practical about your car?

The space and boot size are really generous.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Automatic Climate control.
