What does this car say about you?

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Most think it is a classy looking vehicle with attractive body lines.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably not in view of all the problems I have experienced. I have had to visit the franchised dealer too many times. Car has been off the road for about 23 days in 6 months.

What are you likely to buy next?

Haven't decided.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£22,500

When did you buy the car?

October 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Got a reasonable trade in for my RAV4.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I though it would be a good replacement for my RAV4.

What was the dealer like?

Not very efficient.

What's it like to drive?

Comfortable but firm ride. On rough roads you do feel the bumps.

What's it like to park?

Difficult to guage front and rear due to high body waistline.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Have had a lot of problems with Media pack, with faulty reversing camera,electric door mirrors and more recently speedo and mileometer have packed up completely.Mpg is also very poor and much less than quoted figures.

What's most practical about your car?

Comfortable but firm ride. Plenty acceleration and reasonably roomy. Plenty extras but I am wondering whether this is actually an advantage as so much has gone wrong.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Reversing camera is very useful in combination with reversing sensors. Automatic wipers also useful.
