Economy
Value
We bought ours at 10 months old and £8000 cheaper than when new. This made it very good value.
Costs
They seem to eat tyres, all 4 needed replacing at 16,000 miles. We will try another brand next time. Mpg is not as good as quoted, we get mid 40's, this involves rush hour driving. Wiper blades are silly money, over £22 each!

Driving
For a mini MPV, it is great.
Performance
For a 1.6 TDCI it is great. Cruises well at motorway speeds.

Living with it
Reliability
Ours has been very good. When car unlocked the boot kept unlocking on it's own, this is a faulty seal letting water into the switch. This is being changed under warranty.
Image
Very smart for an MPV. Never going to be a head turner, but as family car for 4 it is great, very easy to get in and out. Getting our 2 year old son in the back so much easier than the saloon we had before. Practicality makes up for image.
Comfort
Very good. Loads of head and leg room in all 5 seats. Steering wheel is fully adjustable. It would be good if passenger seat could be moved up & down like the drivers side.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm, but it does have deadlocks & immobiliser. Only has 1 remote key.

OK, could be better.
