Summary
What does this car say about you?
It's traditionally an old mans car, but once you look past that image, you find an excellent car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They were sceptical, but as soon as they had a look around and went out for a drive, they all changed their tune.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would buy this car again, though don't think i'll get the chance as they've stopped making them in 2010.
What are you likely to buy next?
Hard to say. I think I would look at either a Merc or an Audi.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The steering is sensitive, making the handling feel a little distant, though you get used to it. The acceleration is very good on the 2.2D.
What's it like to park?
Excellent. I was worried about this, but the front and rear parking sensors make it effortless.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing to date.
What's most practical about your car?
The boot is a great size.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Packed full of amazing gadgets, but if I had to choose, I would have to say the small hook that pops out from the glove box handle. Perfect for transporting a take away (without having it roll around the floor).
