Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Comfortable, its big and will take time to get a feel for parking. On the open road its a pleasure with the family. Can even tilt the seats to give sleeping positions for the children on long trips to France.
What's it like to park?
Challenging at first, but once you trust the parking sensors its a lot easier.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No, it just keeps going!
What's most practical about your car?
It's a whale, and quickly converts from people carrier to mini van. I am always surprised by how much you can pack into this car. It handles loads well, and fuel economy is good for the size.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control works well.
