Driving it
What's it like to drive?
On the road it is comfortable and with suffient power. We get about 30mpg on a run. 22mpg around town. We had a 3.3 petrol before which gave 15mpg. So a relative improvement.
What's it like to park?
Not easy to park given the size. And no parking sensors! And the blacked out rear windows give near-zero visibility at night.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes. The battery packed up. Not standard rectangle shape so had to go to main dealer. They had to order one from Italy. Took several days and cost £320 (4x that of a normal rectangular battery of same specification). An absolute disgrace.
What's most practical about your car?
7 seats and sliding doors.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Electric sliding doors and boot (though see note on battery!).
