Summary
What does this car say about you?
It's not a prestige badge so I'd like to think this says that I'm not a "poseur"!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Family think it's the best car we've ever owned. Really comfortable, lots of space, looks stylish with large alloy wheels and lowered suspension on the Design model
Would you buy this car again and why?
Absolutely! No problems from 30,000 miles of driving, really comfortable and a fantastic used buy as the car suffered from horrendous depreciation from new.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Not particularly nippy but great motorway cruiser. Provided you don't drive it hard it will return 48-50mpg. Loads of legroom for both front and rear passengers but will only designed to seat 4 which would be a major drawback if you have a large family
What's it like to park?
Large car but good rear visibility - not particularly difficult
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
I've had the car 18 months and covered 30,000 miles. No problems as yet other than normal wear and tear
What's most practical about your car?
When rear seats folded down there's a cavernous loading area that will swallow up sofa's, dining tables etc!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise Control a blessing on long trips
