Living with it

(See Security - car refused to start when key snapped - this is a failure in my book)
Image
It's an MPV...
Comfort
Upright driving position is really good if you have a bad back (like I do)
-
Security and Service
Security
This car is too secure - my wife snapped the key, lost the chip and the thing wouldn't start. Who's gonna steal an MPV anyway?
Service
Bodywork was dented when it was in for service. Dealer initially denied it but, when I proved it to them, they caved in.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Timing belt jumped due to worn-out tensioner - Remember, children don't just replace the belt!
Other
Trim is fragile - sneeze and it falls apart. Electrical wiring in doors and tailgate is forever breaking. Neither of these is a disaster - just annoying.
Ownership

Used

Yes
