Driving it

Fabulous to drive. Accelerates well and corners beautifully.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The SatNav disappeared for 48 hours, with the message "Sim card not installed", although it was. Suddenly came back on its own.
What's most practical about your car?
The space in the car is excellent, including the third row and the boot level is a good height for loading and it is capacious.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Reversing camera is superb. We have a towbar and it makes lining up the caravan dead easy.
