Summary
What does this car say about you?
Absolutely nothing - I love it!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Most people think it is a Passat until they get near it. It is debadged so they do not really know what to think. Everyone that you give a lift to comments on how good it is.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, but wouldn't need to since after a wash and valet it is the same as the day I bought it.
What are you likely to buy next?
A Lexus RX Hybrid for a bit of a change.

One of my friends has one and encouraged me to get one too!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Oh so comfortable. Fast, quiet and very relaxing to drive.
What's it like to park?

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing has ever gone wrong with the car since I bought it. Two MOTs have been passed with a total of one number plate lightbulb required.
What's most practical about your car?
It just eats up the miles on the motorway and you get out of the car at the end of your journey with no aches and pains! The boot is massive.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The four wheel drive and ability to jack up the suspension is great for driving to the beach.
