    Fine for the wife, kids, dog in back and luggage too. A great, practical motor for the suburban middle classes.

    Livelier than it looks.

    Reliability

    Never been let down once in 107k+ miles. Expect it to go on, and on, and on.

    Bland. No babe-mobile. THIS is what you drive up to the male menopause.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good, but not great. Back seats ok for adults, for a while.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seems ok, but doesn't seem to me much a candidate for car-jackers... too mundane!

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    One dealer was great, one was useless. Word of mouth works.
