In their own words

If you can get a decent used one and accept the few electrical foibles it's bound to have- go for it. The engine will go on for ever.


There was nothing i didnt love about this car. So easy to park even without sensors working as the high driving position and fantastic visibility all round make it simple.

How reliable do you find the car?

Best car i ever owned. Just sold it and missing it already! Engine wise it never gave me a jot of bother. A few things did fail in the latter years - parking sensors and passenger electric window being the main ones.

It did have some corrosion too as it aged but always drove like a luxury car. Loved it

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Perfect car for me. Had 2 integral child seats and bags of room. I used it for our 5 kids as they grew up and also in my childminding business.
