Summary
What does this car say about you?
erm. family man?
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
dont know, no one comments on it. except at the beginning when wife said how comfy it was.
Would you buy this car again and why?
no, because...why would you buy the same car twice. seriously, you dont buy a car then sell it 4 years later to buy the same thing, no matter how good it is. newer version maybe.
What are you likely to buy next?
hmm. not sure whether to say 'to hell with running costs' and buy a 4x4 or maybe the new scenic thats just come out? gets good review on here

What was the dealer like?
JD Dickinson was great, not pushy and very helpful and even took us to a quiet place to test drive away from traffic.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
its quite good. easy to overtake on motorways dispite the fact it weighs loads. a little roll on corners but was expected for a 4x4 and unless you drive like Michael Schumacher its no big deal. acceleration is great, braking is good.
What's it like to park?
suprisingly easy because of good visibility and its actually not as long as a Ford Mondeo according to the figures on Autotrader! it looks big but actualling isnt that big at all

What's most practical about your car?
the boot space is great, it does allright mpg for the size of engine aswell. interior space good too
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
heated seats, CD+tape player.
