Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great to drive, although fuel efficiency really suffers anything over 70mph. Eats A and B roads with ease. Could be a little quicker for overtaking ideally.
What's it like to park?
Tricky until you get used to the shape of the back end - no sensors as standard is just annoying VW.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not in 30k miles so far.
What's most practical about your car?
Perfect combo of on and offroad ability, had it some fairly interesting places. Long term avg 45mpg on a 4x4 is difficult to argue with.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The DAB radio is brilliant. Retractable towbar is pretty trick.
