Did you buy this car new or used?

New

How much did you pay? (including all on-road costs)

46000

What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?

I wanted an SUV that could occasionally tow a trailer. I wanted comfort and technology. Completely fulfilled these needs and a few more.

What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.

Initially wanted a Focus but the engines were not enough for me. Price ended up good, size was excellent, power was a surprise.

What have you discovered since owning the car?

It has a lot of technical wizardry of which I probably only use 50%. Not yet brave enough to try the automatic self parking for instance. Heavier on fuel than I anticipated but most of my driving is only short local trips. Can get down to 8.0l/100KM on a trip.

What do you like/dislike about the car?

Like: - Power, comfortable leather heated seats, auto lights and wipers, keyless entry, handbrake switch, reclining rear seats, handsfree tailgate opening, great aircon Dislike: fuel consumption around town, roadnoise, sunroof (never use it)

Any other comments on the car?

Overall, value for money considering the options available, great car for the longer trips

Lastly, would you buy this vehicle again?

Yes

Why would/wouldn't you buy it again?

Would definitely consider the new model, looks even better. Great size for me and does everything I have asked of it so far.
