On the road
Driving
Of all the mini MPV-type vehicles I've tried, it was the best. I hadn't had chance to try Ford C-Max but don't think it can be much better?
Performance
Very good performance when compared to others, especially my last MPV, the picasso 1.6 - 'nuff said.

Living with it
Reliability
Gonna sit on fence for a while, as what with immobiliser trouble, not got over 1000 miles yet, so a bit early to tell.
Image
Neither special nor tawdry, sort of innocuous. Still, after the Picasso, what else is there that's really out of this world looking?
Comfort
Okay. Could do with bit more room front and back but then I am 6ft 2.

Security and Service
Security
Reasonable security. Mine better than most I expect, given the fact that out of the first 8 weeks I only drove it for 4 of them full time 'cos the immobiliser was faulty and wouldn't let me start the car at all - fixed now! I HOPE ANYWAY...
Service
The service was okay. Just getting it back twice and having same fault wasn't so hopefully put this behind me and look forward to some happy motoring during the summer.
