    People hail you as a taxi and friends laugh.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No back row leg room, middle row middle seat impractical. Diver and passenger seat acceptable though

    Tin opener could beat this thing

    Problems

    Engine

    The most reliable thing I've ever driven 150,000 miles and counting (but it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding)

    Other

    Rear seat hinges snapped meaning they no longer fold away. They have to be taken out instead and most used locks are a bit stiff

    Used

    Would you buy the same model again?

    No

    Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
