  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good value for money, although prices are very keen in this area of the market.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Only had the car a year, so only had to pay for fuel.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A very nice drive indeed. Can be a little noisy at high speed, because the car is only doing 19mph per 1000 rpm. Tried a diesel and this was quieter at 70mph.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very impressed with the 1.6 engine. I've driven a few 1.8 engined Zafiras, and not really noticed the extra power they have. The 1.6 has no problems pulling this car with 3 adults and 3 children in it.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Only a year old, so it's not let us down once. Really good build quality as well.

    Well, not bad for an MPV I suppose. I don't mind being seen in it. Perhaps I'm just getting old and boring?

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pretty good. Nice high driving position. I would prefer the seat to go back a couple more inches, however, even after a 2 hour drive I still feel comfortable.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not sure I can rate this, as no one has tried to nick it. It has the usual deadlocks and engine immobiliser. I'm sure a professional could open it as quickly as any car.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very quick. Hassle free buy. No pressure from the salesman and great finance options.
