Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very nice to drive, good driving position, comfortable seats (even on long runs), interior is well laid out.

Living with it

What's most practical about your car?
The ease of getting in and out, because it's higher than a normal car.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated front windscreen, this winter its been a Godsend.
