Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Good for what you get.
Costs
Can work out expensive if you can't bear to be without lots of buttons, bells and whistles, all of which are available and all that I like.

On the road
Driving
Steering could have more of a 'feel' to it.
Performance
The 1.9dCi delivers huge torque and is surprisingly fast for the size of car.

Living with it
Reliability
The multi-function pods around the steering wheel are a definite weak point, probably too much is expected from them resulting in the temptation to over-use them.
Image
You wouldn't buy this for image although it is a nice looker for an MPV, it scores lots of brownie points over it's predecessor. Lots of plastic on the dash which is a bit of a shame. Plenty of hidey holes, the panoramic glass sunroof is a must.
Comfort
Like armchairs and lots of leg room. If you're a tall driver like me, the back seat passenger will need to be smallish.

Fairly comprehensive system as standard windows possible weak point.

Simple, fast and not too expensive - not a car for the DIY-er.
