It must be me getting ripped off for brake discs, pads and servicing!

On the road
Driving
Comfortable driving position - more upright than conventional car, comfy seats. Tends to roll a bit around corners but to be expected. Large blind spot caused by wide windscreen/door pillar in front of driver.
Performance
Can move when you need it to. MPG not bad either. Still does ok with full load and roof box on for the hols.

Living with it
Reliability
Had since new, only problems are front wipers tend to smash themselves up - would be better with conventional wiper system. Idle is eratic and engine cutting out now and then
Image
It's for the family so your not trying to impress anyone. It's not going to set your pulse racing but it does it's job brilliantly
Comfort
Great for young family 5 good seats and 2 junior seats in back. My kids now too big for back seats for anything longer than 15 min drive. Got good boot space too.
