General Comments:

Great minivan, reliable, practical. I would buy again for a minivan.

Coming from a very unreliable and fragile Renault Espace, the upgrade in reliability is ridiculous. I have a car that works and that I can forget about when I am not driving.

RELIABILITY: Nothing major to worry about in 4 years.

DRIVING: It drives and handles well for a car this size. It is more powerful than I need. I really like the DSG transmission, it's flawless. I am happy with the engine, but I would probably be happy with any engine, as I don't need much.

EQUIPMENT: The equipment is basic, but OK. With hindsight, I would have preferred to have heated seats and bluetooth.

I can't recommend enough the electric sliding doors. I thought it was a gimmick, but it is ridiculously practical for the family runs, especially with younger kids.

PRACTICALITY: Extremely good, after all this is a minivan.

Seats: I am 183cm, and the space is great both in front, but specially in the rear seats which are incredibly spacious for adults.

The last row of seats is small for an adult my size, perfectly fine for kids.

It also has roof rails, which now carry the family bikes.

Luggage space is enormous. Even with the seven seats on, you can load a lot of bags.

RUNNING COSTS: Probably the cheapest for a car this size.
