Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quite comfortable, the seats are not quite good enough for regular long distance driving. (82,000 miles in 3 years has left me with a slightly sore back) but for general use it's fine. It's not sporty but reasonably responsive and never struggles.
What's it like to park?
You do need the parking sensors, the large boot is a little tricky to judge as is the front of the car (you can't see the bonnet from behind the wheel) but it's not bad.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
A tyre sensor has been going haywire for the last two years but nothing else.
What's most practical about your car?
It has a massive boot, the false floor in the boot area is extremely useful.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The anti glare rear view mirror is absolutely brilliant for night driving.
