No

I needed something to carry heavy loads for business, but it had to be suitable for everyday family use.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Comfortable and quiet, with good roadholding.
What's it like to park?
It has rear parking sensors, which work well, so reverse parking is quite easy. Judging where the front is can be a problem, as none of the bonnet is visible.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
One brake caliper burst, losing all the fluid and all the brakes. The multi-function display wasn't working when we bought it.
What's most practical about your car?
The enormous load area.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The suspension. I can put half a tonne of products in the back and it still sits level and rides well.
