What was the dealer like?

very good

What's it like to drive?

Handling- fantastic. Comfort- Very roomy and I think ride is really good too. The best bit is that gearbox its nothing short of outstanding with its 3 modes Auto, SportsAuto and 6 speed push button. In 6speed mode the gearchanges are so smooth and far better then much high class cars I have tried.

What's it like to park?

Who cares

Have you had any problems with the car?

Everything within weeks of purchase suspension, brakes, seatbelts, sensors and the gearbox went. Total time off road 5 months with a cost of over £3000. HOWEVER the dealer paid for the whole lot and gave me a car to use while my was off road and I didn't have to throw a paddy to get it all done. since then its been trouble free. So did I get a good deal or not.

What's most practical about your car?

Nothing
