Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quick (although not very quick). And the noise is addictive. Handles well and never runs out of puff on hills. Bit thirsty.
What's it like to park?
Easy enough. Has rear parking sensors and the curved front is easy enough to deal with as I'm tall. Only thing is I sometimes have to think where I'm parking it.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
MAF failed. That's it so far touch wood!
What's most practical about your car?
Good size. Not too big, not too small. The only other things that would be nice are a bit better fuel economy, bigger boot (the 4WD eats into it a fair bit) and cruise control.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Fully optioned up - folding mirrors, sat-nav, sunroof, heated leather, xenons etc, etc.
