What's it like to drive?

Great, the raised driving position give very good visibility and feeling of safety yet the car handles really well and doesn't roll much in the corners. 70mph on the motorway is quiet and smooth. This car has made driving fun again. One slight gripe is i expected it to be a little better on fuel, i seem to be getting around 25 miles to the gallon around town.

What's it like to park?

Took some getting used to as its bigger than my previous car but easy enough to park now that I'm used to it.

Have you had any problems with the car?

not yet

What's most practical about your car?

The sliding back doors make it so easy to get our grand children's car seats in

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The stereo, sound quality is fantastic and the option to play cd's full of mp3s is great.
