Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Second to none. You'll find it hard to find a more comfy car in this class. Stick the suspension and gearbox in to sport mode and it firms up and gets more responsive. Rarely fond the need as it's doing the business in normal mode brilliantly.
What's it like to park?
Not too bad taking the size into consideration. It's way easier to park than i.e our Grand C-max. Parking sensors helps as well.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Battery needed changing, but that can be expected in a 8 year old car. Air mass meter gone wrong. Fixed for £50 from eBay.
What's most practical about your car?
The big boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Hmmm...now thats a hard one. It's between the auto close doors/boot and the massaging seats.
