£27,000

October 2013

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
So easy it's almost boring. The 3.0 engine packs a mighty punch when you want to use it, but otherwise never breaks into a sweat. It's just a lovely, effortless car, nicest car I have ever owned and there have been a lot!
What's it like to park?
Bit large to park altho of course it does have front and rear sensors.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Lock on fuel flap - solenoid failed. Nothing else.
What's most practical about your car?
Very spacious estate, and very easy to lower and return the rear seats.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The whole thing is one huge gadget.
