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

Good level of trim.
Costs
High price of all UK cars far higher than Europe.
-
On the road
Driving
Comfortable. Instruments/controls intuitively placed.
Performance
It's a bus! Like all MPVs, they don't perform, just lollop along.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Pathetic.
Image
Good exterior styling (height/width proportions are excellent). Best looking MPV on the road.
Comfort
Not clever when don't have middle seat in middle row (outside seats slide sidewards a few mills round bends - not a lot, but enough to make your lunch have a second visit on windy roads).
-
Security and Service
Security
Alarm is sensitive to sunlight, and if don't close interior vents, wind sets it off too.
Service
Overpriced. Point out many faults which are not necessary, but if I knew nothing about cars I would have been scared to go on the road until I spent £3000 fixing things which were not problems.
