Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very nice, the power steering is lovely. Only slight niggle is the soft suspension, but this only becomes a problem if you are motoring around country roads.
What's it like to park?
Parking is good, mirrors give plenty of view. Power steering helps and the turning circle is adequate for a car of this size. No parking sensors on a model this old though :-(.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing other than wear and tear.
What's most practical about your car?
The car is very comfortable. It has a large boot and the seats fold making the boot enormous and flat. Have been to Europe several times for skiing/summer holidays with bikes on the roof and 4 people in the car. Engine pulls well when fully loaded and the MGP is always around 40-45 when driving normally.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control.
