Summary
What does this car say about you?
Funky, practical family man! Looks much better than the other 'safe' MPV's.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everyone likes it. First timers always pleasantly surprised with it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Well, my kids are only getting bigger, so I think I'd need something with a bit more space for the rearmost occupants. The +2's seating area is really awkward to access / exit.
What are you likely to buy next?
If I still want 7 seats, then Landrover Discovery.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Really can't fault the drive. Feels sure footed enough for a big family car. Comfy long distance cruiser. Good 2.0L diesel - plenty of overtaking power when needed, eats up motorway miles - all round average 43MPG. Have had a bit of torque steer in wet conditions when accelerating hard from a standstill.
What's it like to park?
Easy - reverse camera really helps.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Slight wear along the rearmost stitching on the drivers seat - after 12K miles. I'm not heavier than average either!
What's most practical about your car?
Extra 2 seats when needed.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sat nav and reverse camera - really useful!
