On the road
Driving
As company car driver I have driven a number of different MPVs over long distances - This is the one to drive - effortless long legs.
Performance
Judged against other MPVs? Fast. 0-60 not relevant here, feel the torque from 50 to 85! Push those Merc's - Can't wait for new my Espace 3.0V6 Diesel.

Living with it
Reliability
Never missed a beat, now at 110,000 miles, just routine stuff.
Image
Odd one this, most people won't be seen dead here. Everyone who gets in is stunned by size, quality and performance - but they won't be seen dead in one - If your image, in the eyes of your neighbour is important, go outside your detached & clean your BMW
Comfort
Lots of wheel travel means sumptuous ride, quiet, rearrange those seats for a 4 seat limo.
