Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Accelerating, cruising at speed, cornering: it's capable and unexciting and more than adequate. There is no body roll cornering which surprised me for such a large car. It feels like a car, not a minivan. The ride is firm, maybe a bit harsh, I guess due to the cars length and stiffness.
What's it like to park?
Easy to tell where the edges are, but quite a long car.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No probs after 3 months
What's most practical about your car?
Useful size, easily seats 7 with a small boot for gear too, but not too big for city use. Rear seats easily come out to give a large estate car sized luggage area. Not too many electronics, hard wearing interior.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It isn't a gadget rich car. The underfloor storage room at the back is a good a bit of space. Never seen this on any other car.
