Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely to drive, comfortable and still packs quite a punch when you gun it, not bad considering the weight of the beast.
What's it like to park?
My friends and family refer to it as the ship due to the bonnet which does make tight spaces difficult to get right having to guess where the end is.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing major to report as yet which is good for a 10 year old car, had a service in December and all it needed was front brake pads
What's most practical about your car?
The boot - got a new spin drier and just put it in the boot no tipping of seats it just fit.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I love the automatic heated wing mirrors - ideal living in Yorkshire
