    What does this car say about you?

    I am a dad with more than a couple of kids. The V6 gives you slightly more credability.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    It was a funky blue colour, nice big sunroof and had some grunt; the kids loved it.

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Very punchy for a 7 seater; the V6 had a lot of grunt and it kept up with cars in the fast lane quite easily.

    What's it like to park?

    Not too bad for a 7 seater; it isn't as big as some, so it was quite easy to get in and out of spaces.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Had blocked radiator when bought; after flushing no issues. Major agg to get to radiator however due to cramped engine bay; the V6 engine is a bit of a beast.

    What's most practical about your car?

    7 seats; practical and crucial for me.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Very well equipped; kids liked the digital dashboard and keeping an eye on the speed etc !!
