Summary
What does this car say about you?
That's not really important to me, but if pushed for an answer I would say it shows I have impeccable taste and high standards, am also extremely modest with it too!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They are envious and say it is their dream car,which I thought rather flattering but nice to hear.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would buy this car again, but would buy the automatic next time just for even more ease of motoring and convenience.
What are you likely to buy next?
The Honda CR-V of course! Havent you been listening?lol!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's so quiet and smooth, it feels like you are driving a hairdryer! In fact, I have been known to start it up when its already running as its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO quiet
What's it like to park?
Very easy considering the length. I would be fibbing if I said you could turn it on a sixpence like a MINI, but it is very manageable.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Apart from the clutch going as I was driving down a hill with all four of my grandchildren in a thunderstorm... nothing significant.
What's most practical about your car?
Everything. I feel so safe and sound in it, even in the snow, which I am normally phobic about driving in. It's brilliant in the snow - on a par with the vintage crash gearbox Land Rover I learned to drive in.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Love the sat-nav, it's very handyand sleek, but I also adore the quality of the radio, cd player,the handy little picnic table in the middle of the front seats,and the surprising large outdoor table in the boot!
