Driving it
What's it like to drive?
When it works, pleasant. When it fails, it's lethal as its so heavy.
What's it like to park?
It's a big car and doesn't leave much room in typical car parks (and hence tends to get hit by other patrons).

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes. Very dangerous (and apparently common) fault with crank shaft sensor which causes the engine to shut off at speed leaving the car with no assisted steering or breaking - it's a deathtrap.

Large boot.
