Summary
What does this car say about you?
I am very dull and have no personality.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They think it looks stylish but I dislike the car so much so I'm not sure if they are trying to make me feel better!
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, apart from the fuel economy and the supposedly strong brand, it is deathly dull. It has let me down a couple of times, is slow and makes me look like I have lost my mojo.
What are you likely to buy next?
I want another 4wd, probably a Landcruiser. More reliable, individual image, bigger, safer to drive.

Easy now the parking sensors have been repaired (£400).
