    Practical, sensible

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They love it.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes. For three years it has done its job quietly and reliably without anyone noticing it, which I think is a good thing. We did 45k miles, filled it with kids, rubbish and sand. At the end it scrubbed up as good as new.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Would buy another one without hesitation but had to compromise due to the crunch!

    Nothing exciting, it does it's job quietly and competantly. It's comfotable and powerful enough to drive to the South of France, fully loaded with 2 adults, 3 kids and a roof box, in one day, with just a couple of stops. Average fuel consumption 45mpg.

    Easy enough.
