Summary
What does this car say about you?
Not a lot.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Looks nice.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, for several reasons: 1 My children felt sick in the back. Not surprising really because of the low down seats, small windows and cramped position. 2 Poor overall visibility 3 Why pay for options I don't need like heated mirrors, heated seats, poor quality leather ?
What are you likely to buy next?
Something more practical

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
You have to give it lots of revs because it is a heavy car.
What's it like to park?
This is the most difficult car to park I have ever owned. Visibility is poor and the bulges on the front and back wings are a nightmare.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes, I used the radio with the engine switched off. The battery went dead and I had to call the AA. The AA man said that the battery in a modern car is barely big enough to do the job ! Rain sensitive wipers are useless.
What's most practical about your car?
This is not a practical car. When the front seats are pushed back (as they usually are), there is hardly any room for the back seat passengers.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Good stereo.
