Reliability
Never breaks down, starts first time everytime and still gets us to France, Scotland and Switzerland every year.

Nothing special.
Comfort
Very comfy, yet supportive seats. Huge boot, good driving position and plenty of leg room. Also surprisingly quiet for a diesel, although it gets a bit gruff when worked hard.
