If you're looking for a family size car that is reasonably cheap on petrol then this car is good for you. I owned this model for 5 years and it was always reliable and it never broke down. Servicing the vehicle was also good due to the parts being cheaper than some other manufacturers. The only complaint I had was with the hand brake as during extremely cold weather (-10C) it seemed to freeze slightly and was stiff to take off first thing on start up. The model prefers hot weather and with AC it was very comfortable driving around the continent, again with a smaller engine size petrol seemed to go that bit further. Cruising at 70 or 80 mph was fine and comfortable on faster roads and the tyres are quite wide for secure handling but you will notice the lack of power when trying to over take. The car is roomy and the boot is sufficient for most family needs, especially when the back seat can split. The CD entertainment system was good with quadraphonic speakers and EQ I enjoyed some good listening.
