Advantages: comfort, nice ride

Disadvantages: electrics a big let down

I owned this car for 6 months during 2007/08. It was a 2001 Y reg. The interior of the car was comfortable, spacious in the front but a bit crampt in the back. Boot space was great. It was a smooth ride with good power.

Shortly after purchase I had major problems with the engine. The engine would stall if I went at speeds of around 60 - 70 and then took my foot off the accelerator to slow down. This happened to me on the motorway which posed a very dangerous situation. After a trip to the garage all seemed ok put down to an electrical problem. After about a couple of months the same thing happened again. The garage was unable to identify the problem. I found myself driving at slow speeds, not accelerating quickly and avoided motorways altogether. Shortly after I part exchanged the vehicle as I had lost all confidence in driving it.

Summary: a nice ride if you can get going!
