In their own words

Bought this car as my previous one was feeling a little cramped do decided to upsize, it has loads of room for passengers, great legroom even in the back row, we have transported 8 adults in comfort. With all 8 seats up luggage room is a bit lacking but with the roof bars created room on top if you have a roof box. When the rear 3 seats rolled up the boot is massive. It's well equipped, built in satnav, CD changer, air conditioning, climate control, auto wipers and lights.e electronic sliding rear doors... But I have had problems The sat nav might be good... I don't know because the CD player has stopped working so I can't put the sat nav disk in to use it. The egr valve packed up was expensive to repair so had it blanked off Swirl flap controller snapped so back to the garage It's glow plugs have stopped working and nobody knows why It has a leak in the vacuum system which nobody can locate so on acceleration it sounds like a jet engine. And it displays depollution system fault every morning but it's reason never shows on fault code readers I love the car, it's all round amazing. But reliability and electrical problems let it down. I'd recommend one...if you get a thorough independent inspection first
