Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A bit like a 'bus' on local roads, great on dual carriage-ways and motorways. Very comfortable to drive.
What's it like to park?
When we first had it, it was difficult to judge front and rear of the car, but with experiance no problem at all.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes, we have an intermittent fault where the car losses power and 'miss-fires' and belches out clouds of grey smoke. The car has been taken back to the main dealer five times, where they plug into central computer but no fault shows up. Even thought they have seen the fault can't seem to find the problem. They have changed several sensors but still problem exists. (This is a different dealership to the one we purchased from). Other faults with car are minor and more annoying than anything. (i.e. electric doors don't always work, interior lights intermittently come on for no reason).
What's most practical about your car?
Side sliding doors a real boon in tight car parks. Moveability of seats for all occasions. Plenty of room for all passengers, each child has own individual seat.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sliding doors.
