However, the air-conditioning has added another level of comfort to the Caddy’s already luxurious and comfortable interior. Even after a mammoth five-hour Friday evening drive home from Goodwood, I got out at home feeling ache-free and reasonably fresh.

I’m a particular fan of how the Bluetooth connects with my iPhone and at the touch of one of the multi-function steering wheel buttons, I can access my phone book and make calls without taking my eyes of the instruments.

The Caddy really is like a large two-seater Golf – which it effectively is and with more miles on the clock, the 1.6-litre TDI certainly feels keener and sharper than it did when it first arrived back at the beginning of March.

Gripes? Well, on start up a couple of times, the Caddy has thrown up a few spurious messages about a traction control failure. As I write, it hasn’t done this for a while, but it still might be worth a check at the local dealer. Excess buzzing from one of the passenger side speakers could mean it’s on its way out too – either that or the Caddy’s stereo doesn’t like my choice of music – I wonder?

In addition, the wash at the start of last month, showed up a quite a few annoying little stone chips on the pearl black paint, but I suppose that’s par for the course when doing a fair amount of mileage.

Month 4 is looking as busy as month 3, with the capacious load area likely to be filled with lots of flat-packed furniture from a long planned trip to IKEA. I’ll update you as to how I get on next month.
