    Although high maintenance costs, excellent reliability 'balances the scales'.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    None to speak of, only the usual serviceable items.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Smooth, comfortable ride. Steering can feel light when motorway driving. Overall, excellent.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Surprisingly nippy. More efficient at high revs due to high ratio gearbox.

    You want image, you get an Evo. You want practicality, you get a Space Wagon!

    Not fitted.

    Service

    Service and parts can be expensive. Competent enough to do servicing myself.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Bought from a trusted used car dealer, required new water pump just after I bought it. Dealer replaced it under warranty and also renewed cambelt. Didn't cost me a bean!

    Other

    Cable stretched on rear seat release. However, still useable. Should be simple to replace.
