It's a great car, handles nicely, looks not too bad, maybe a wee bit boring (think Mr Mondeo). The engine (diesel) is garbage. Blows smoke everywhere and misfires at 1250rpm. Really must get that fixed...</p> <p>We do about 3000 miles a year. Take the train lots for longer journeys, as its faster and more fun for the kids.</p> <p>What car would I really like: Either a T5 V-dub camper, or something small like a BMW concept Mini. </p> <p><em>For me, the car is a weekend tool and toy. If I were to use it day-in day-out, getting stuck in traffic, I would very quickly lose the pleasure of driving.</em> </p>
