    When did you buy the car?

    July 2012

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    Excellent. I should say it was a TOYOTA dealer. A great way to do business: Toyota will not allow junk on their forecourts, but neither will they charge the same prices as a Skoda dealership.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    Two six-foot sons; needest the most rear legroom possible.

    What was the dealer like?

    Friendly; willing to haggle, which is vital for me.

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    I've had mine re-mapped to 202bhp, so it is rapid. Ride is excellent on 18" wheels; rumours have circulated that the chassis was worked on by Bentley. It has remarkable poise and authority; sure-footed in all conditions. Space, pace and grace. Hang on - haven't I heard that before?

    What's it like to park?

    Not a doddle, but has rear parking sensors.

  • Living with it

    What's most practical about your car?

    HUGE rear leg-room; HUGE boot.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The sat-nav/media juke-box is awesome.
