Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£9,000
When did you buy the car?
May 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
Excellent. Well looked after. They had sold the car from new and when I couldn't find a car, they used it as an excuse to offer the owner a good deal on a new one!
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
A car for my wife. She was desperate to have the ride height, comfort and space of a 4x4. I wanted something as close to a car, whilst giving her everything she wanted.
What was the dealer like?
Good, although they didn't get the car prepped in time for my pick-up.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Brilliant. Comfortable, fast when you need it to be. Little body roll for a car of it's size. Most of the time it just makes you want to cruise, taking the time to notice the scenery.
What's it like to park?
Easier than my Audi A4.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not a thing.
What's most practical about your car?
Size and access for child & dogs
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Seating is great. Gearbox is fab. Sunroof and climate control, both really effective. Wife likes the picnic table that doubles as the false floor in the boot.
