    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    It is very comfortable to drive but the indicators on this models fail to cancel sometimes when the turn is gradual.E.G turning onto a slip road.

    It is relatively easy to park but the window pillars are quite wide, and this creates a visibility problem.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    This car has been 100% reliable and has never broken down. It has never had any faults. There was a recall for this model because some front passenger side airbag covers had a fault but mine was checked at the dealer and it was OK.

    What's most practical about your car?

    The rear seat moves forwards without lowering the seat backs, so this creates more boot space without removing the parcel shelf.
