Lovely, roomy, comfy, could do with armrests though.
Performance
Great, for an MPV. 1.6l nippy enough around town, cruises well on motorways. Does the job.

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable - downgraded AA membership now and now worried.

Good for an MPV. But with kids, who cares!
Comfort
Really very good. Deep supportive seats, 3 separate seats across the back, wonderful for kids, gear lever position great, reach and position good too. Huge bootspace.
