Better value than most other MPV's. Purchased for £6,000 for a 3 year model with 22,000 miles.
Costs
Actually quite expensive.

On the road
Driving
Perfect for motorway driving. Nice high driving position for urban driving but the numerous blind spots lets it down.
Performance
Very poor performance from a standing start considering the size of the car. Gear change (especially in 1st and 2nd) is not designed for performance.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Reliable? Yes. But there are so many squeaks, rattles and clunks, I keep thinking it's about to die. Lasted two years so far.
Image
Well establish MPV. Proud to be in it.
Comfort
Very Comfortable. Lots of space. No more scrunched-up legs.

Security and Service
Security
Only an immobiliser, but it suits me - less noisy.
Service
Serviced, but not through Main Dealer. Although servicing still very expensive.
