They don't fall about admiring it but they appreciate the comfort and space when riding in it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, it's a good value, reliable car. Cheap to insure, running costs not to bad and any mechanic worth his salt can work on one.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Generally pretty smooth and quiet. Easy enough around town but sits easily on motorway. 1.8 sometimes feels a touch underpowered when carrying passengers, but generally it has enough power if not exactly punch.
What's it like to park?
Not too bad, like any larger car it's just a question of getting used to it.

Living with it

Not yet.

Decent amount of space for passengers and luggage.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cup holders! My old Mondeo (1997) didn't have any.
