SUV

Sometimes wireless Apple Carplay does not connect. Has good warnings about speed cameras or level crosssings. Warns about school zones outside of advertised hours. Big screen. Electric third row seats make it easy to use third row, compared to manual fixtures. Second row tumbles forward and can be 40/20/40 split. Climate control concierge can keep every area happy. No room behind third row when in use. Engine has plenty of get up and go. You can chose between Drive modes like ECO and Sport. Has a smooth ride for the bumps and pot holes. Good vision out the windscreen and mirrors. Need to switch off steering assistance as it can be over-reactive, as can be the automatic brake system. Quiet for a diesel. Fixed-price Servicing is $595 every six months. They give me a loan car when being serviced. Shop around for insurance as some companies are double the premium of others. Would average about 10 litres per 100km overall and about nine on the freeway. The car always started first time. No gearbox issues. Adjustable-height suspension works quietly.
