Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's a relaxed cruiser, great for motorway mile munching. It can be a very rapid machine if you push it, 0-60 in less than 8 seconds. Generally it is a fantastically smooth and quiet ride.
What's it like to park?
If you have a driving license it should be no trouble! Reverse sensors help to define where the rear bumper is but visibility is very good for parking.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing at all, keep them serviced every 12k and rumour has it they'll last forever!
What's most practical about your car?
It's vast load area with it's seats down. I've owned vans that have less space in the back than this vehicle. It also is a completely flat load area.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It's a toss up between the front/rear heated seats and the reverse sensors
