Summary
What does this car say about you?
Nothing, I hope.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
No idea, and don't care.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, it's exactly what I was expecting. While we've had the occasional uncomfortably large bill, overall it's given us reasonable cost motoring.
What are you likely to buy next?
Would buy the same again, although this would obviously be a later model (maybe they've improved the quality of the interior).

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Powerful and swift when you want it, docile when you don't. Not agile, but totally predictable handling.
What's it like to park?
Reasonable all-round visibility makes it a cinch.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Mostly due to electronics.
What's most practical about your car?
Rugged, powerful, but not so pretty.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Speed limiter - much more practical than cruise control (in my opinion).
