Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Smooth, unfussy- feels very light for a relatively large car. The feel encourages you to drive in a relaxed and controlled way. On motorways the cruise control is really simple and makes for a comfortable distance drive. We've gone ~7 hours at a time without feeling tired. Plenty of power to handle the country roads and sixth gear makes cruising a doddle.
What's it like to park?
Excellent visibility all around, no problems parking. The shape of the car means that you can easily see your boundaries and nip in to spaces.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing
What's most practical about your car?
Well thought out- very logical layout inside and intuitive controls. It seems to know what you're thinking- things happen automatically without you needing to do anything. Feels very solid and trustworthy and the terrain response system is exceptional.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Terrain response- you feel a huge difference in the feel of the car. Having attended the offroading experience that came with the car we are confident with all the settings and use them fully- makes a huge difference in adverse weather or an obstacle.
