Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Effortless cruising, even when towing in excess of 1,600kg of caravan. Great view of the road ahead. You see much more of your surrounds making for a safer drive in congested areas and a better view of the countryside when out on scenic drives.
What's it like to park?
Parking is much easier than the vast majority of modern cars that I regularly use at work.

Living with it

Almost everything. Can be converted from a large load space to a seven seat passenger vehicle with ease.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Rear view camera makes reversing safer.
