Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Horrible..... 1.6hdi is very underpowered and the EGS gearbox is jerky. But when on the motorway it cruises well and very comfortable.
What's it like to park?
Easy and there is so much glass you can see everything.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
In the 1st year of ownership the air suspension had to be sorted 3 times, fortunately this was all covered under the warranty. I think every part was replaced. since then no issues at all.
What's most practical about your car?
The size and flexibility of the 7 seats, the back 5 fold flat and it gives you van like space. very handy.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sun blinds in the doors, brilliant in the summer.
