Ok, so tomorrow is midway - time for a check in I feel! I'll try to do it in a logical manner!
First exterior impressions:
White. I really wasn't sure about that, but when the sun shines (it has once or twice 
) it's a lovely sparkly white. Still wouldn't choose it though! From the outside it is really compact looking - it's bigger on the inside though, thankfully.
Interior:
Driving position - very good, flexible, everything is within easy reach. The controls are easy to understand although I've not managed to work out the cruise control yet. The steering wheel is a little slippy - if you've got to make a significant adjustment in a hurry it can be a little dodgy.
The steering feels a little disconnected to the road - a little bit too light for my liking, but the suspension is a little bit hard so you are very connected in that way 
It has a smaller turning circle than my Ford though.
In my current car (Ford C-Max) and in virtually every other car I have driven in recent years there is a facility to do a half pressure on the indicators which turns it on for, say, 4 flashes - perfect for changing lanes. I love this facility and I'm missing it on the Verso. It's especially useful as in a car with lots of kids, modern indicators are often not loud enough to draw your attention so sometimes it can be on for a while!
The front passenger seat is as comfortable as the driver's seat, and the glove boxes are useful but I would prefer one large one to two smaller ones.
The second row seats are comfortable. The ability to move them forwards is useful although it is a little stiff currently (probably because it is so new). My Britax Prince car seat fits nicely in the seat. I've tested a Stage 0+, a stage 1 and a stage 2 car seat and they all fit perfectly across the middle row.
In my Ford, I have the privacy glass in the back (as does the Verso) but I also have retractable sun blinds which are also a very useful feature as it takes all the glare off the baby.
It is phenomenally easy to use the seats in the 3rd row and although there is not masses of legroom, this is an occasional 7-seater so I would say adequate. The use of them means zilch boot space, but again, if you need both, you'd not be looking at an occasional 7-seater, would you?!
One thing which my ex's Mercedes has which I think is a brilliant idea is that the rear seat belt buckle is on the outside so when you are strapping a child into a HBB it is far easier to strap them in, rather than leaning in over them into the car.
So, currently, I probably wouldn't buy one right now - I have 4dcs so we fill a 'normal' car already. I am hankering after a full size 7-seater. But if you were looking for an occasional 7-seater, I think this would be very hard to beat. I like Japanese cars (or German - so goodness knows why I have a Ford 
) for their reliability, and this 'feels' reliable. It is a good practical car, but doesn't fail to impress from a driving perspective. I need a practical car for the dcs but I like to feel like I'm driving something other than a bus!
We're going away with the world and his wife on Saturday, so I'll update then. Hoping to take a few photos too...
