Why I love my Caddy Maxi Life

Hannah Ingram wanted a classy vehicle fit for work and play. She found it in the Caddy Maxi Life

When I decided to go into business as a self-employed fitness instructor I knew I'd have a lot of equipment to haul around, but I didn't want to buy some great bruiser of a thing. My previous vehicle was a Mini. I loved it but knew it wouldn't work as business transport. With the Caddy Maxi Life I don't feel like I've had to give up on the luxuries I had in my old car. Quite the opposite, in fact. The Volkswagen comes with so much equipment as standard that it happily doubles as an everyday car when I'm not working. Having seven seats is a great feature, and on working days I remove the rear-most seats to get all of my fitness gear in.

Fit for a fitness instructor

Appearance is important to me, and my Caddy Maxi Life's certainly a looker. It has optional chrome side rails and front spoiler as well as sporty alloys and privacy glass. I've also had it liveried to promote my business. Its cool looks help too, and it's as attractive on the inside as it is out. The diesel engine has plenty of power and gets me quickly and economically between my clients all across Leicestershire. That's another virtue - ordinary work vehicles can be underpowered and pretty uninspiring to drive.
