Advantages: Space, comfort, looks

Disadvantages: Servicing costs can be steep

As a taller than average driver ( 6'2" in my bare feet ), I quite often come across a problem trying to find a car that offers everything I want, as well as allowing some rear legroom for my growing family.
I can have the seat set in the perfect postion for me and there is still loads of room in the back for your average adult.
The driving position is excellent and the 2000cc petrol engine is very responsive without being too thirsty.
Most designers of family sized cars only pay lip service to looks ( the Vauxhall Vectra being a perfect example ), but Peugeot have managed to make a car that drives well, swallows a family of four with ease and still looks good when it's parked on the drive.
If it turns out to be as reliable as the Japanese, then I think I'll have bought the perfect family car.
