Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Expensive to buy, but holds value well. 7-seaters still fairly rare.
Costs
Supposed to be expensive to run/repair, but as little if nothing goes wrong, it's cheaper than you think.

Driving
Clasic not that well equipped and I've uprated to multi-change CD/Radio-Cassette. Extra speakers installed in the tailgate as mine's a 7-seater. Fantastic turning circle.
Performance
The 2.4 V6 is the minimum to go for and can struggle a bit when fully laden.

Living with it
Reliability
None - 1 headlamp bulb failed in 2 years!
Image
Looks the part, especially if you put a personalised number plate on it!
Comfort
Good. Offset pedals can take time getting used to.

Security and Service
Security
Not tested in this regard.
Service
Very efficient. Sometimes a queue on drop off at main dealers. Charges not as high I as thought they would be.
