Economy
Value
Very good value for money, although prices are very keen in this area of the market.
Costs
Only had the car a year, so only had to pay for fuel.

Driving
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
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
Only a year old, so it's not let us down once. Really good build quality as well.
Image
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
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
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
Very quick. Hassle free buy. No pressure from the salesman and great finance options.
