Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Superb. Like all Jap motors, all the extras thrown in as standard. Extremely reliable, unlike French motors or Vauxhall. Much cheaper than German motors.
Costs
It's cost me £130 in total bills in 9 months (the Nissan dealers 12000 mile service fee).

On the road
Driving
Very comfortable. I test drove all the others in the class, Zafira (hard seats), Picasso (uncomfortable seats).
Performance
The 136 hp diesel is fantastic and returns 39mpg even when driven very hard.

Living with it
Reliability
Japanese. Say no more.
Image
Its not a Merc or a BMW I know but do I want a decent car or pay extra for a status symbol.
Comfort
I take the family off to France camping and skiing every year and we all arrive in good shape. Good headroom, clever use of space (below floor panel storage etc.) AND much less body roll than the Renault Espace.

Security and Service
Security
Not a car that someone would want to nick (Jap diesel) and thieves wouldn't expect much inside anyway.
Service
Delay in delivery time but then at least I new it was coming from the factory and hadn't been sitting in a car park somewhere.
