    Style, with a touch of quirkiness.

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

    They seem to like it. (the neighbours also have a similar one).

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes. At this price, it seems like it's a no-brainer.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Unknown, but almost certain to have some kind of alternative fuel -- hybrid? electric? something else? Don't know yet, but the way things are going I can't see us buying another regular petrol or diesel car next time.

    Pre-reg means you get a new car for a used price. What's not to like?

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    It was a pre-reg -- ie although on last year's plate and sold as used, it only had delivery mileage and was effectively a brand new car with a massive discount.

    What was the dealer like?

    Excellent. very helpful, made a genuine effort to find the right car at the right price.

    What's it like to drive?

    Excellent. Laid back and smooth.

    What's it like to park?

    Very easy, despite its large size. The parking sensors and rear camera are helpful. (It also comes with self-parking function, although I haven't dared try that yet).

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    We had an engine alert on the way home from the garage. Turned out to be a sensor fault; was quickly sorted by the dealer, no further problems.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Massive amount of space.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Exclusive+ trim comes with massage function in the front seats. Crazy! But quirky enough to be a big talking point.
