Owning Experience
Owned For: 12 Months
Good Points: Never broke down Quick for what it was ,2.0 tdci more akin to driving a petrol, never short of space, quiet at speed
Bad Point: Seats to narrow for the larger gent so would get numb bumb syndrome, Only great to drive on smooth roads rubbish on back lanes as suspesion couldnt cope with weight of it, terrible in multi story car parks lots of shunting, no parking sensors as standard, rear passenger master window switches on drivers door hidden by door handle, could never get more than 53mpg no matter how it was driven

Ok so I had some minor issues with the turbo boost cuting in and out, ( sensor related) and it was crap to start when stone cold with 10 seconds plus of cranking most mornings, the Seats too narrow for the larger gent ( modern car issue) so would get numb bumb syndrome, Only great to drive on smooth roads rubbish on back lanes as suspesion couldnt cope with weight of it ( suspect 17" wheels didnt help) terrible in multi story car parks lots of shunting, no parking sensors as standard, rear passenger master window switches on drivers door hidden by door handle, could never get more than 53mpg no matter how it was driven and there were some trim wear issues due to previous owners wedding rings on door handles and switches
but I will have another one as it ticks so many boxes practical, mile muncher, 575 to a tank ( despite not achiving more than 53mpg )
so I'll be saving up for a low miles one and just by a cusion for my back side
