Hello from East Lothian

Hi members of the Alphard forum,

I've yet to buy an Alphard, but have looked at some  and driven one on a test drive and think I know what I'm after. Below is what I'm considering.

Post 2010, under 60.000 miles. 2.4 and possibly hybrid and possibly 4X4 (any thoughts?) 7 seats, electric tail gate,

Had a Toyota CHR and I'm lead to believe that the Alphard hybrid is a very similar drive system just bigger? On our test drive found the driving position very good.

Other things I would like are 'Cruise Control', is adaptive available/desirable?( I have it on my Austral Alpine).Parking sensors with front & rear camera's, 360 degree camera's would be the icing on the cake, twin moon roofs. 

Budget is flexible if we get what we want and the idea is to use it as a 'Weekend vehicle' that we can just take off in and explore, but don't think we want a 'Camper'?

Any thoughts from those that have one? is there anything we have forgotten or you would suggest or you think is undesirable?

Kind regards to you all, 

Mike B-R
