Fantastic. Combines practicality with fun.

Turbo went under warranty after 3 months. A little heavy on oil when driven hard but ok when driven sensibly.

Massive load space. Have carried kitchen appliances upright, a cement mixer, building materials etc Can buy almost anything and know it will fit in the car. No need to hire a van or pay for delivery on some stuff. Shopping disappears in the boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

LED lit dashboard. Small light mounted on the mirror lights up the gear leaver and central console, which doesn't sound much but is very practical.
