Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good value for money compared to other siblings (C8/807) plenty of equipment on this model as standard.

Once again compares favourably against siblings, but cheaper of the three.

On the road
Driving
Handles well for a vehicle of this size, good turning circle and very car like on the road.
Performance
This vehicle will never have lightning performance, but plenty of go when wound up. MPG is ok for size of vehicle, may have been better to have a 6 speed box like Galaxy/ Sharran to improve economy.

Living with it
Reliability
No major issues upto now, only gripe would be the oil level warning indicator is very indecisive & keeps advising of low oil level.
Image
A good looking vehicle which is the most unique of the siblings & better looking than most other MPV's.
Comfort
Excellent adjustment on seats, good for taller drivers, but not the most comfortable seat for a long journey.
-
Security and Service
Security
Good security with remote central locking, alarm & immobiliser as standard along with window etching and option to have vehicle added to a security register.
Service
Level of service from dealership has been poor. The vehicle was an ex-demo, 10 months old so there were a couple of issues to resolve. After a number of journeys/ phone calls to the dealer they have still not resolved all of the initial items.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Engine is fine and performs when needed.
Other
Overall a nice vehicle to drive & does the job of a large MPV, only other comment would be for manufacturers in general to look at weight reduction for the seats as they are not easy to lift in/ out and I am 6' 7"" and 17-1/2 stone!
