Advantages: Comfort, Reliability

Disadvantages: None really, maybe its a bit big for some people

My dad is a taxi driver, and decided to buy one of these as his new work car. He bought a 53 plate about 2 and a half years ago (roughly when the 06 cars were out), so it was about 2 and a half years old at the time. I think I'm in a good position to review this car as I know first hand how reliable it is in terms of the huge amount of mileage a taxi driver can clock up.

Overall, my father and I have been extremely happy with the reliability and comfot of the car. It is absolutely huge and very comfortable inside, and has a real quality finish to it. In terms of the drive its very smooth and has a decent accelleration to it. It also has a built in Sat Nav, but in my opinion it is a bit too fiddly, dated, and could not compare with one of the TomTom models. The CD player works very well, and doesnt jump like some other cars I've been in.

In the time my father has been using it, there has been no work required to be carried out on the car other than its servicing every once in a while.

I would recommend this car for many applications; Taxi drivers, families, business workers etc. It certainly wont dissapoint.

Summary: Highly recommended
