Summary
What does this car say about you?
I've a got too many kids
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everyone loves travelling in it, it took six of us and all our luggage (without a roof box) to england for a week and was superb the whole journey
Would you buy this car again and why?
No but only due a suprising lack of electronic safety e.g ESP or ASR. Also with harsher winters of late 4WD is a safer bet, something the voyager doesn't offer
What are you likely to buy next?
Smaller estate or SUV, XC60/90, A6 QUATTRO

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Travels better than most SUV's we have owned including our last car Mercedes ML320! Handling is a little light provides very little feedback but it does what it needs to
What's it like to park?
Excellent turning circle and light steering makes the task quite easy, yet the lack of parking sensors or reversing camera in LX spec is disappointing as big bumpers at front and rear are very easy targets in tight spaces
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
ECU problem but was fixed after first trip to dealer
What's most practical about your car?
7 seats all leather clad (good for wear and tear), heated seats and sliding doors
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Onboard computer provides alot of trip information, cruise control although basic in comparison to newer types is extremely useful on the long drives + it came standard
