On the road
Driving
Surprisingly agile bus with excellent brakes. The 5-sp manual is fun to drive in a spirited manner - I'm serious ! It's no sports car, but nothing this big should handle this well.
Performance
Very good for a people carrier. 120mph top speed (with 8 people in) and acceleration that is as good as most 1.6 cars.

Living with it
Reliability
Excellent. No other words.
Image
What image? It's a family bus. Good stealth vehicle. Plod just ignore them (well, it is a family bus, and they don't expect them to be driven in a spirited manner).
Comfort
Brilliant. No numb bums, light, airy cabin, great heater, loud stereo ... the best for looooooonnnng journeys.
