Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Boot catch failed which is a common problem. Also excessive smoke pours from under bonnet on cold days when you stop which is quite embarrassing when your in traffic ! Apparently this also is common and isn't anything that can be righted but its quite annoying ! Wipers often die if cars been standing and weathers has been very wet !
What's most practical about your car?
Good for kids but dont bother with the 7 seater if you have a child that needs a buggy because buggy will not fit in boot with the 6th & 7th seat up...not even a small stroller type buggy. Plus you have to fiddle about to get the seats up.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Nothing really quite basic
