I wanted an practical, reliable, economical family car

What was the dealer like?

They were very helpful.

What's it like to drive?

Actually not bad at all, economical, very good at cruising on motorways and it had good mid range accelaration. Also felt surprisingly agile. My only gripe is that you had to learn to compensate for the blind spot caused by the thickness of the 'A' pillar.

Seemed pretty easy to me.

One of the glow plugs was not heating correctly and caused problems on starting, but this was fixed under warranty, other than that very reliable.
