    Quick, quite pokey at traffic lights, lots of vibration around 20 - 30 mph, cannot seem to park it very well but could just be me.

    Does seem van like at times, but mpg is no worse than large cars.

    nobody has heard of this car, however when my family and friends saw it, they loved it, even my father in law who has just bought a new zafira - looks like a large zafira with loads more space, interior is a little worse than the zafira but thumbs up from

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fantastic - coming from a car with kids - peace - lots of space - seats are really comfortable - much better than Zafira, especially as each seat is individual (keeps kids from hitting each other as much).
