    Facelift models look better, better still with the fog lights but hey, it's an estate, not a priority!

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfy to drive, rear seats ok for little ones up to about 10 years old.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Remote central locking makes it easy. Never broken into.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Dealer? Hardly used. Parts prices can be cheap, but expensive more often than not.
