Summary
What does this car say about you?
It says I don't do my research very well, otherwise I wouldn't buy such a lemon!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Think it's ok until I tell them what it does to the gallon
Would you buy this car again and why?
No. Has to be one of the most overated vehicles on the road. Diesel is slow and noisy, petrol has the running costs of a space shuttle! If you don't need to go off road (I do) buy an MPV, If you do, buy a cheaper alternative, mine lost well over 22K in 3 years, the same amount as alot of proper off road vehicles are to buy.
What are you likely to buy next?
A proper 4x4

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
As a 4x4 it's terrible, can't deal with much more than wet grass. On road performance doesn't equal high running costs.
What's it like to park?
Ok with sensors.
