May 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Excellent part-exchange and was wanting a 4x4 so it sounded great.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

4x4 and great reviews.

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was excellent at first when I wanted the car and bought it. Then the war started...

What's it like to drive?

Smooth and quite powerful for a 1.5 disel. Positive on the road, holds well and you can tell the difference when in 4x4 mode.

What's it like to park?

Easy and great turning for the tight gaps. Reverse sensors (additional front sensors which are not part of the packs).

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes, the day of delivery to me came and the paint was rough to touch as delivery wax had not been removed, plus they Supaguarded over the top of it and under the bonnet looked like it had been stored in a scrap yard. The car went back 5 times. Also the radio reception is poor and fades in and out. Apart from this the car is great. It's the dealer that was at fault for the paintwork and the radio is under investigation.

What's most practical about your car?

Getting in the car (height) and good boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Usb playback and Bluetooth phone audio telephone calls and play the music of your phone (shame about the radio).
