Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It is the first automatic I have ever driven so getting used to it was a little tricky, but I can't fault the car itself, The auto box is very smooth and selects all gears without issue, and the engine pulls like a train. Fuel economy is poor though as it is carbed, I average around 25mpg.
What's it like to park?
It is a big car, but has massive windows all round and the lightest power steering I have ever had in a car, so it is easy considering the size of the it.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Haven't owned it very long, the only issues I have found is the dodgey alarm system (Ive turned it off for now until it gets sorted) and the electric ariel doesn't work. Also missfires a little at low revs.
What's most practical about your car?
Massive boot and loads of passenger space!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Got to be the pop up headlights!
