Summary
What does this car say about you?
I really do not care to be honest. Pushed into a corner, I would say 'family man!'
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all love it and alway comment on how comfy it is.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes I would as it is so comfy and practical. Oh, and the economy, from 60 litres of diesel, I get 725 'motorway miles' OR about 575 'around the town' miles. Combined, it usually comes in at around 625 miles.
What are you likely to buy next?
I think I will be keeping this car for at least 5 to 6 years.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£8,000
When did you buy the car?
February 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
I did, this car was purchased by someone buying 3 of them at once from a liquidator to get the best price. The one I bought off him had been on the forecourt at 13,995. So, yes I got a fantastic deal.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I liked the size of the car, the futuristic styling and the huge number of useful gadgets available.
What was the dealer like?
He was a full time teacher and part time dealer. As I am also a teacher, we got on really well.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
it is nice to drive. If you are after a car which will sprint out of traffic lights and will overtake with great ease, then this is NOT the car for you. If you want to be able to cruise for hours on the motorway and for everyone to leave the car feeling completely relaxed, then get this as you will not find a more comfy car.
What's it like to park?
I find it easy as steering is so light and visability is great. But my missus thinks it is a bit big and doesn't like the fact you cannot see the front of the bonnet.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes! The boot catch would not unlock. This was sorted under warranty at the local dealership.
What's most practical about your car?
the ease at which the seats move (incl. the back ones) and at which the car can easily go from being a 7 seater to a fully flay load lugger with all the seats completely flat.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Where do I start....cruise control, slpit air conditioning meaning cool on one side of car and warmer on other side, trip computer which is deadly accurate........
