Nifty for a diesel and very comfortable for those long drives up to Scotland and back.
Performance
Very quick off the mark and accelerates well from 40 up.

Living with it
Reliability
Fine until the ABS controller went and cost me £1000 for a replacement! Never broken down, though.
Image
Bit of a grandad image.
Comfort
Very comfy and, despite all the knocking, plenty of headroom in the back for the less than 6-footers amongst us.
