Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The car is a mix of good and bad. Great for long journeys on motorways with plenty of room for 5 people and luggage. Very airy with full sun roof. The diesel engine gives good mpg for the car size on long motorway journeys.
Not enjoyable to drive on twisty country roads with too much body roll and the low profile tyres on 18” wheels make for a very hard ride on rough pot holed roads.

How reliable do you find the car?

Replace rear parking sensor 3 times
New radiator and cooler at 56000 miles
New electric steering column at under 50000 miles cost £3500
Ongoing Problems with sliding roof not operating correctly
Air con isn’t half as good as my wife’s Ford Fiesta for cold/ heat output
All 4 wheels suffered degradation after the 5 year guarantee period was up and had to have them resprayed professionally.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Great tourer on motorway driving, very comfortable
Engine sluggish at low revs in second gear.
Not very good on country roads, steering is a bit vague
