    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    GS is an excellent car to drive but not very well-specced for such an expensive motor - eg no CD.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Average mpg over six months mixed motoring is about 30.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great car to drive - eats up the miles. Rear visibility poor due to obtrusive rear headrests. Nips and tucks surprisingly easily around town. Some design irritations - eg no flap on sunvisor mirror.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    2.4 engine very willing, even with auto. Effortless motorway cruising. Drives like a car not a van.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Distinctive looks for an MPV, but it's no head-turner

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Cavernous 'lounge-style' interior, lots of storage. Good boot space even with seats right back. Easy getting in and out, esp in front where the dash-mounted auto gear-change makes walk-through easy.

    Security
