A plesure to drive.
I have had this car for nearly six months now, and only brought it to drive to Paris (it was cheaper than hiring). We had four adults and a child, and all had plenty of leg room with a boot full of clothes. It also done 33mpg overall and it was about 1600 miles in total. A real joy to drive. Although this is 12 years old with over 190k miles on the clock, everything works as it should. no warning lights on. It pulls and delivers on time every time. Up to this car I have been an Alfa / BMW fan, but this car has won me over. I will say, it's not a racers car, but as I'm getting on a bit, it's really good, I've even used the snow button.
