Driving it
What's it like to drive?
As expected with cars of this age, it has lost some power and the gear change could be smoother. It isn't the most economical on fuel so running costs are bit of a problem.
What's it like to park?
The steering and turning circle are quite good for a car of its size. Rear view and mirrors are functional for reverse parking.

I've had to put a new exhaust system on it and also the alternator had to be changed along with the battery.
What's most practical about your car?
Generally, very reliable, spacious and straightforward.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It has a 6 disc cd changer and a large boot. Which have been useful.
