Great family car.

With two sons with partners we wanted something that we could all go out in. I searched high and low for a good example of a late model. Bought this on a private sale with around 70k miles on the clock. 22k miles later we still love it. We've had long trips with 6 adults, 2 dogs and roof box and it still pulls well. MPG can be around 55 with 2 onboard - high 40's with full load. Watch for sticky rear brake callipers - £140 each to change - and alternator groaning - had to change mine - expensive job at around £500 inc parts. Apart from that it's a brilliant adaptable car - with huge loading area with the seats down, a table in the front middle when the seat folds forwards and a good sound system. Find a looked after model and you'll be pleased.
