In their own words

Outstanding car, I bought mine with a little trepidation as it had covered 175000 miles. I had no need to worry, in the six years I owned it it never let me down and I racked up another 40000 miles during that time. Fuel economy was very good, averaging 50 plus mpg . Really spacious and with three children and everthing that comes with them, that was essential. On the minus side it suffered badly with corroded sills which eventually led to me having to scrap it in 2019 and I would advise anyone considering purchasing one to thoroughly check these beforehand. Saying that had I payed more attention to the problem I could have prevented it from becoming a terminal issue. I highly recommend the 2.0 hdi that I had, you're not going to win any races with only 90 bhp on a fairly large car but who cares

How reliable do you find the car?

Most reliable car I've had to date (over 20 cars in 33 years of driving). In the six years I owned it it never broke down.
