Summary
What does this car say about you?
Family car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Nice to look at and fits us all in but they have seen the problems and agree for the price we paid we were done and so many problems for supposedly a new car. A new car should not have prolems with rust, etc
Would you buy this car again and why?
No never, wish we had gone for the Galaxy or something else along that line but to be honest if I didnt need 6 seats would go for normal car as that's the only good thing about the car it can seat us all in one go.
What are you likely to buy next?
Galaxy or something along those lines.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Didn't buy from a dealer
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£11,995
When did you buy the car?
June 2010
Did you get a good deal and why?
No, we were told it was new and no mileage but it had 100 miles on the clock and after a couple of weeks didn't feel new. Not value for money, would get a better deal now with a newer model.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Needed a 7 seater family car and the colour was perfect for this type.
What was the dealer like?
Ok but spun us a lot of rubbish I think.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Goes all over the road, no good in wind, there are 2 very thick large pillars/beams at each side of the front windscreen that block your view going round corners and junctions. It only has 5 gears, the mirrors are pathetic, it's sluggish to take off and has no overtaking power at all, it is not practical as no boot when seats are all up so no space for shopping, etc, unless you always leave one seat down at the back.
What's it like to park?
Fine
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
A lot, electrics, engine, gears, rust, issues due to the beams at the side of the front windscreen.
What's most practical about your car?
The driver's seat moves up and down and can fit my whole family in.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
None
