Summary
What does this car say about you?
It does not talk much. Sometimes it does not want to go without belts fasten, then it says to me fasten the belt.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They think the car is great for the family.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Well, in years I think there will be another cars, better models, other technology etc. So I can't really say I'll buy it in a number of years. I honestly think in 5-10 years time we might end up driving some electric or other kind of cars.
What are you likely to buy next?
Hard to say again. Future will show us.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£0
When did you buy the car?
January 2010
Did you get a good deal and why?
I think I got a good deal although it was a standard offer and I did not get anything on top of it. So I got almost 6000 off the original price including 2000 for my old car which can barely cost 200 pounds.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
It looks modern inside compare to XC90. Lots of nice features. Front wheel drive. Cheaper to run and tax. I've got almost 6 grand off the price including scrapage car discount.
What was the dealer like?
He was rather friendly and helpful. He was also helpful after we have paid for a car, so I think he was a good one.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It is like your are out from the World. Everything looks like you watching TV. Even BMW 5 series looks small from high seating position and moves like in a film. The engine is not really responsive when cold. After warms up much better, less noise better response. Gear change is not noticeable at all.
What's it like to park?
With reversing camera and parking sensors it is absolutely not a problem. Without them , I would not try to park in London.
