Summary
What does this car say about you?
Does it matter?
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
It's an awfully huge 'shed' for very little money. If you want a cheap bus, look for a Sedona.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Probably. It does everything it says on the tin and while there are other people carriers that may be technically more refined, they'll come at a much higher price.
What are you likely to buy next?
Not planning on buying for a long time yet.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It goes like stink when you put your foot down. Steering is a bit low geared and suspension could be better on potholes. Diesel engine can get 'growly' but this isn't a problem. Gearchange very good and brakes excellent.
What's it like to park?
You need sensors! It's long and bulky.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong in the 7000 miles covered so far. My only gripe is the rear seats are far too heavy. The dealer did comment they weren't lightweight - and he was absolutely truthful! They weight about 1cwt EACH. They do not need to be so heavy. That's my only gripe.
What's most practical about your car?
Driving position. You're high up and can see well.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The aircon system in the summer. Grandchildren LOVE the DVD player that was fitted in the car by the previous owner.
