Franchised

Yes

£38,000
When did you buy the car?
March 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
A reasonable deal, may have saved a few more pounds if I was willing to really shop around and maybe compromise on the extras but dealer was good so stuck with them. The car is expensive so are the extras - £900 for automatic lights is taking the p**s.

I needs a big family car with seven seats capable of towing nearly 2 tonnes of caravan.
What was the dealer like?
Excellent

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
For a scaled down truck it is brilliant and comfortable - though it ain't no sports car but there again it does not prtend to be. Plenty of grunt if you need it though - rapid not fast.
What's it like to park?
It is a small truck so not great - the rear sensors help though.
