What you would expect for an MPV?

For the return of MPG, the performance isn't bad, has some pull even when doing 70-80mph.

Living with it
Reliability
In the past year, there has been no problems with reliability. Starts first time every time.
Image
Personally I believe the Fiat is the better looking sibling (P807 & C8), however it's still a Fiat.
Comfort
Very comfortable, with reach and rake SW and fully moveable seats you cannot help but be comfortable.

Security and Service
Security
T1 alarm system, window etching and stickers, opportunity to be placed on a database.
Service
As you expect on new cars you get niggly problems with trim etc, the level of service I have recieved from the local Fiat garage has been terrible up to now. I have had to chase them to call me about parts and timings.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Engine is ok. A bit noisy for my liking, but it is a diesel and not all are like the Volvo D5, short journeys mean you have the pleasure of the noise of the engine cooling down after you get out, can last for a couple of minutes.
Other
The pre-delivery inspection missed the fact that the headlamp washer wasn't working properly, they would catch on the bumper and break, make sure the garage confirms a PDI has been carried out and check everything before taking the car.
Ownership
Did you buy the car new?
New
Would you buy the same model again?
No
Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
No
