I tow a caravan with it - enough said......

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Good solid motor.

Another one.

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

£30,000

Initially through leasing company, then purchased at end of lease.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Fantastic motorway cruiser. Good on A roads providing smooth. Forget it on a bumpy B road.

What's it like to park?

No problem for me, but I'm used to big cars.

Have you had any problems with the car?

A few things, but all cheap to fix. Very reliable as it's now done 160,000 miles, and there were zero faults until over 100,000 miles. Suspension is now "squidgy", not helped by the speed humps in my road I suspect.

What's most practical about your car?

Carrying capacity and great to tow.

Heated seats!
