There is no doubt that it does shift, when (eventually) you're in the appropriate gear! This car only has 2500 revs on the clock when cruising at 80mph!
Space in the interior is actually terrible if you're not in the front. Headroom is limited and with 6ft people in the front there's next to zero leg-room in the back! Not what you'd expect from an estate! more

Some may say I am over-critical of the automatic transmission, but modern cars should really be more responsive!
There's no doubt that this car would be excellent for motorway journeys where you're carrying a lot of luggage but not more than 2 passengers!
