Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's a good drive, ive no complaints. Ive always driven Mercedes and BMW [X5] and i can honestly say they are no better.
What's it like to park?
For a big car it's easy to park, however, parking sensors would be better to have on the rear, as it can be difficult to judge the distance from the bumper.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Electric ariel stopped working, however was replaced under warranty. I was have been told my prop-shaft has seized and will also be replaced under warranty, however, ive noticed no difference?
What's most practical about your car?
The space and the height. Also pleanty of space for the kids and any passangers. As long as you drive sensibly it is good on fuel, however, taking it up to 70 and above will see the guage drop.

Cruise Control, i use it everyday as i commute long distances.
