Summary
What does this car say about you?
I have a family and an active life outside work. The latter part is not true, but that's what it says.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like it and they wold all like one.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. There are few alternatives to the space and comfort; the Q7 is just too big and the Land Cruiser is a tractor in disguise.
What are you likely to buy next?
Another Land Rover unless someone comes out with a better alternative. There are none around at the moment.

Friendly and personable, keen to do the deal but not too pushy.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very Range-Rover like (as a former owner of one), commanding driving position. No sports car but has enough poke when it needs to go.
What's it like to park?
The parking sensors make life a lot easier, but most spaces are tight spaces with something this size.
