Fuel economy ok (Diesel). Parts not cheap.

More like sailing than driving. Plan your turn early and hang on if you are going too fast.
Performance
Diesel with an automatic box! What do you expect!

Living with it
Reliability
Practically the whole fuel system has been replaced (110,000 miles). Six RAC visits in a year due to fuel system problems. I must have picked a bad one.
Image
A family car, good for carrying kids, pushchairs and suitcases.
Comfort
Overall a comfortable car, although the headrests do not move and give me a sore neck on a long journey.
