On the road
Driving
Ok for shop runs once a week, but hard work doing quotes all over the county!
Performance
Once she gets going, not too bad, but pulling away from the lights is a nightmare!
-
Living with it
Reliability
Have spent over £1000 on repairs and servicing in the last 10 months. Watch out for rusting exhaust.
Image
Not particularly stunning but beats the Fiat Multipla anyday!
Comfort
Very comfy spongy seats, plenty of room and well positioned dials.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm and I'm told the door locks aren't up to much but it does have an immobiliser.
Service
No contact with manufacturer - all repairs and servicing done by local mechanic.
