As a whole this car is exceptional, It's well built, reliable, and not bad to look at. The 2.0 TDi goes like a bat out of hell, It has a 5 Star NCAP rating and isofix in the back seats for the baby seats. In my experience however, the 7 seater can prove to be a nightmare. although the extra seats can be very useful, so would a spare wheel. instead you have a mini compressor and a bottle of goo which you squeeze into the tyre. Of course if you have a blow out, slash to the tyre or get 2 punctures you are stranded, all you can hope for is a member of the recovery services towing you to the nearest garage to have any old tyre put on because you can't be fussy in the middle of nowhere. So when purchasing this vehicle, bear in mind you may have to purchase an extra wheel to put in the back of the car for long journeys.
