Needed a large, reliable, efficient family car and wanted one with plenty of toys for a reasonable price.

What was the dealer like?

Not bad, not great. Usual exchange of 'friendly' negotiations.

Easy. Not interesting, but easy.

Fine with reversing aid. Would be less sure without those, it is a long car!

Size of boot and powered tailgate.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Sat nav works very well. Powered bootlid still good even though more common now on newer cars.
