Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely - can't fault it. Some people complain about their hard suspension, but it doesn't bother me because my other cars are old MGs with VERY hard suspension!
What's it like to park?
Quite easy because you're high up and it has good all round visibility.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No ..... not yet!
What's most practical about your car?
It's nice and chunky so you feel safe in it. It feels powerful and tows very well.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The heater de-mists the screen faster than any other car I've owned.
