Keep it serviced and driving well - not one days problem. Used every day for school run.
Image
It is one of the smartest looking people carriers and has a sleek presence due to the extended length of the grand.
Comfort
Seats are all full size unlike other MPV's and very comfortable, particularly the front captains seats. Also Grand Espace has enough boot space for 7 passengers and holiday cases and more.
