Drives like a car, despite size and weight of an MPV.
Performance
Diesel is not the most powerful on the market and fully loaded can struggle up longer inclines.

Living with it
Reliability
Has never failed to go first time, but have 65K on the clock after three years and has required work.
Image
Not the most exciting of MPVs! If such a thing exists.
Comfort
Very comfortable, but engine noise is not the best damped and can be intrusive.

Security and Service
Service
TNS in St Ives, Cambridgeshire. Very good all round.

Needed new drive shaft after 18 months. Leaking water pump fitted under warranty at 60K service.

Front brake have been skimmed three times due to a propensity to warp over time. This thing eats front tyres, lucky to get 15K, fourth set just fitted. Its not my driving either!
