1.8 GDi engine is powerful enough to get about comfortably when fully loaded, handling is slightly wallowy like alot of people carriers, not too confident on country roads.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Key is 'bendy' and twists in ignition/locks sometimes coming out of the fob. No major faults though and service costs are reasonable.
What's most practical about your car?
The size and adaptability for carrying my family or large loads. It has very good space inside, the rear seat slides back forward to increase/decrease boot space/rear leg room as needed.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
10 disc factory CD changer.
