Comfort and quality. Dad's "retirement" car.

What was the dealer like?

He was incompetent and lied through his teeth to hide his errors. Overall, we stuck with him and got a good end result.

What's it like to drive?

Plenty of power. Handling set up make it feel a lot lighter than it is!

Easy peasy thanks to parking sensors, good side mirrors and nice power steering. However you do need to remember this car is almost 5 metres long!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nope. Only done 4k miles though, so cant really say.

What's most practical about your car?

the 'practical' aspect is it gets from A to B. However, its the beautiful way it does it that is the important point!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

COMMAND Sat Nav is very intelligent. As is the driver info computer.
