No major problems, but ensure that any car you buy has had the track rod arms changed in the safety recall of June 2004.
Image
Looks better than most cars in its class, particularly in black or silver, but wheels are too small at 14 inch, need to be 16 inch.
Comfort
Very spacious e.g 2 adult and 2 kids for three weeks all over europe with luggage, no problems.

Security and Service
Security
Very good, but fobs for immobilisers are not very robust.

Servicing is expensive, but outside the standard service intervals, little required.
