    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    A huge box for 1/3 the price of a townace, seats 8 adults and medium luggage a treat.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Parts are a bit expensive, but reliability keeps that at bay. Only cost £400 at 15 years (10 montt t+t).

  • On the road

    Driving

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Quite pleasant to drive, but sloppy and steering is far from sharp.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Slow and whinny - runs out of puff at 65mph, and never settles at speed. Lucky to gain more than 25mpg, or 20mpg in town. A genuine bus.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    a brick on wheels, what do you expect?

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Bags of space, rests to put your feet up in second row. Soft springs give american style smoothness - goes crazy on bumps! Good for long distance cruising - at sub 60mph speeds!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not bad for a 20 year old car, imobiliser and alarm keep theives at bay - not that they'd want it!
