Summary
What does this car say about you?
I quite like the image of the car. I still think it looks good and feel happy to drive it as still feels a bit classier than a Ford, Vauxhall etc.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all like it. Lacks about of rear legroom so I have to adjust front seats depending on who's sitting in the rear.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes I would but may consider something with a bit mor driver involvement but would miss the solidity.
What are you likely to buy next?
A6 Avant, Honda Accord Tourer, Skod Octavia, Ford Mondeo... it depends on how well off I am at the time?

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Holds the road well. Steering lacks feel but quite assured and can be hustled along. Big swell of torque but in quite a narrow band. Does quite quickly so would probably benefit from a remap but I have never been brave enough.
What's it like to park?
No problems.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only normal servicing, i.e. tyres, oil, filters, brakes, 2 cambelts, tensioners and water pumps etc and also a suspension bush, a couple of rear springs and a brake booster/master cylinder pump.
What's most practical about your car?
Quite a lot of load space especially with rear seats folded.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Reasonable amount of toys as SE model.
