Summary
What does this car say about you?
Get out of my way! This thing is huge and I can understand it would be very intimidating to other drivers.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
My son loves this car. He's able to see so much more. My husband loves driving it but hates it for all the problems we ve had with it. Drove really well in the last lot of snow we had in the West Country. Ended up having to run other family members around.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes for all the gadgets that come as standard but not necessarily the reilability.
What are you likely to buy next?

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its very comfortable. Great in the winter with the quick clear screen heaters and the heated steering wheel. However I have never had so much road rage from other drivers. People tend to hate these cars. I have had 3 near misses in the car since owning it and you can't honestly say its too small to see!
What's it like to park?
A nightmare given the fact I have to get my toddler out too. Tend to park in parent spaces. I am able to get it most car parks though with the aid of the ability to lower the height of the vehicle

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes. At 110,000 miles it needed a new gearbox! I ve had trouble with the hill decent control and the sensors on the car. The dash instruments lights only work on the one side. The garage informed me i need a new dash! Recently kept having HDC inactive flash up so had to have 2 new ECUs fitted
What's most practical about your car?
The boot. I can drive around with my son in the back and my dog in the boot knowing both are safe and there's still room in the boot for a large 3 wheeler pushchair and a big black labrador. Also I can get 3 peoples groceries in the boot when shopping with my sister and mother.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The heated steering wheel. The fact I can lower the car too makes it easier to get my son in and out of the car.
