    5 out of 5 5.0

    In almost 4 years since new very little has failed mechanically, a good private buy.

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Smooth family car, good comfort for long distances.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It's a big heavy car and needs at least 150 bhp to get it motoring. Having driven the 130 TDi since, I prefer the diesel.

    Very, very reliable.
