Style, comfortable and versatility

If you could change one thing about your car, what would it be?

Thermostat housing

What would you say would be your overall verdict on this car?

I like the car but a faulty thermostat housing caused a sudden loss of coolant resulting in catastrophic engine failure due to overheating.

The 360 cameras!

If you could change one thing about your car, what would it be?

The beeping noise when you haven’t shut the door properly etc. would like it to be less aggressive sounding!

What would you say would be your overall verdict on this car?

Perfect for a small family. Normally a small car driver, I wanted the smallest SUV I could find that had a boot big enough for the buggy and shopping, and tall enough to save my back when getting little one in and out. It did all of that, and was nicer to drive than I expected for such a practical car

What do you love most about your car?

Car is solid peace of mind for the missus and kid and friends being driven around in it.

If you could change one thing about your car, what would it be?

Engine is slow when pulling away must be maxing out that 1.2l engine for the vehicle size.

What would you say would be your overall verdict on this car?

Perfect for mums looking for a safe vehicle to drive kids around in and utilise locally. Useful when transporting large items too and very cost efficient in terms of whole life costs in our experience so far. Fuel and servicing is cheap

Smoother, more mature and better built than the original. Not exciting, but dependable, efficient and easy to live with — exactly what buyers wanted.

Who drives a car like this?

AI generated owner profile based on psychographic inference

Favoured by modern families, urban professionals, and pragmatists wanting premium feel without premium fuss, drawn to calm cabins and confident, fuss-free ownership. Risk-averse optimists who prize reassurance, tactile quality, and social credibility; they value predictability balanced with small moments of everyday delight. School runs, supermarket trips, and weekend escapes; tech-enabled routines, condensed commutes, and shared family calendars define their week. Warmly pragmatic; praises refinement, seats, and visibility, forgives outright pace. Notices economy, service experience, and how stress-free it feels daily.

Did you know?

Your ears notice about a 3 dB drop as a clear hush; choosing quieter tyres can make motorway chats sound like the kitchen, not a tunnel.

A higher hip‑point eases knees and backs, meaning grandparents climb aboard with less fuss—and everyone still gets a commanding view.

On Britain’s speed cushions and patchwork tarmac, slightly taller sidewalls often feel like a free suspension upgrade, smoothing school‑run rumbles noticeably.
