Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Good - after having a 1.9 dCi 120 Laguna we were worried that a 1.5 dCi 106 might be quite sluggish in comparison. It actually feels faster! *UPDATE at 13 months/26,000 miles: Engine became very rough at about 16k, this seemed to be rectified after service.* *UPDATE at 32 months/67,000 miles - car seems to become very rough and sluggish when coming up to service intervals, I think that 18k between services is too much*
What's it like to park?
Easy - good visibility. Good steering lock and visibility.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not yet - only had it for a month! *UPDATE at 13 months/26,000 miles: Radio reception was awful so new arial and Driver's seatbelt frayed so replaced - all done at 18k service. Not bad for 26,000 miles!* *UPDATE at 32 months/67,000 miles: Electric window fuse went, nothing apart from that. Very happy with car overall*
What's most practical about your car?
Big boot, opening tailgate window (£150 option).
