Wanted something different and large enough to fit the kids and pooch in for holidaying.

What was the dealer like?

Bristol street motors Fiat, Derby. Very nice staff, not pushy.

What's it like to drive?

I'm under no illusions about this car. To put things into perspective I have owned 41 cars from hot hatches, 4x4s, to prestige marques. I knew what to expect. Its 1.4 engine does need some work on hills but I find it more than adequate. It is so comfy, there's plenty of room for all passengers. Visibility is great and the driving position is superb. It handles inner city, rural and motorway driving fine.

What's it like to park?

Easy, city mode makes it so light and there's plenty of visibility.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I've covered 2000 miles so far and everything appears ok.

What's most practical about your car?

The rear seating is great with lots of combinations for moving gear of all shapes and sizes. The rear seats fold down, fold forward, slide forwards and backwards and recline.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The uconnect system for streaming music from my phone through the stereo is great as is the text reading and reply service.
