Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Its perfect to drive and very comfortable on motorway trips. The ride is a big jiggly at low speeds on bad roads though but its nothing back breaking.

2 minor things have gone wrong. The multichanger in the glove box failed but was quickly fixed by myself with some clever wiring. And the light bulbs on the mirrors blew out.

The space and size. Its a decent all rounder.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The come home light function. Its very cool.
