Driving it
What's it like to drive?
One word. Sublime. Glides along the road and over bumps. The only way you can tell if you hit a pothole is if the passenger says it. Its a dream to drive. I love it!
What's it like to park?
Simple, actually. You would think the size would be an issue but it really isnt. It's no harder to park than a Ford Fiesta!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes, a few things. First, the ABS sensor in the back wheel. This stopped the Electronic Handbrake working. Second, the Ignition barrel, which turned out to be a faulty wet battery, where the car should have a gel battery. Thirdly, I broke the exhaust manifold trying to fix a broken EGR Cooler. Oops.....
What's most practical about your car?
The sheer size of the thing. Its huge!! The boot is enough for 4 full size golf bags and trolleys with room for the shoes leftover!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The MMI system. I love being able to fiddle around with how long my lights stay on after i lock the car at night. Maybe thats just me, but yeah...
