    What does this car say about you?

    Family man who can afford to spend part of his pension pot on a practical, stylish people-carrier with all the bells and whistles.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They like the looks, the comfort and the visibility from being fairly high up. The adjustable rear seats give plenty of space in the back for child seats.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    At my age, I may not buy another one! If hybrids continue to improve, would think about one, particularly if 7 seats.

    What's it like to drive?

    Not as quick as some, and the semi-auto is a bit jerky, but one gets used to it. Town driving is best in manual, using the paddles. Good on motorways.

    Bit of a bus, but the all-round sensors and cameras help a lot, as does the self-parking facility. Good front and side visibility. Good turning circle, light steering at slow speeds.
