Family dont like it as it is not as practical as my previous volvo estate.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, I have had too much trouble with this car. I would want something that can carry a lot more.

What's it like to drive?

The auto box can be slow to change up on even the slightest gradient. It only has a range of 300 miles between fill ups.

What's it like to park?

Its bigger than some prople carriers, and you have to judge where the ends are.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes, ecu cat CH gasket I have spent almost £2000 on repairs in the last year.

What's most practical about your car?

Nothing. For such a big car there is very little space for 2 adults in the back once the child seat is in. The boot is huge, but the opening is narrow, therefore difficult to get large objects in.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The wine gums I get on the frequent visits to the petrol station.
