Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Can sometimes feel sluggish in slow moving traffic but the diesel engine runs smoothly in town and has alot of grunt on the motorway, never need to downshift to overtake and it quite comfortable in any lane of the motorway. The speed sensitive power steering firms up on the motorway and on the road and relaxes when driving slow perfect for parking and negotiating tight corners etc.
What's it like to park?
Not the best of turning circles but is still very easy to park due to a large windscreen and the light power steering at low speeds allowing you to pull into bays easily.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Just recently the anti pollution fault came up on the dash after 30k miles. Was solved with a simple software upgrade at the dealers and is running better than ever.
What's most practical about your car?
The cabin itself is spacious and the sports seats are comfy. Im 6ft 3 and fit in it with no problems. Not the largest of rear seats but can still seat 5 adults easy enough. good sized boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The multi function display shows tracks playing, avg mpg, amount of miles till next fill up etc. The stereo lacked bluetooth, aux in so decided to put in an aftermarket stereo blends really well with the rest of the dash was the best purchase i have made for the car.
