“I like it a great deal. It isn't the last word on wheels, but it does the job very nicely. It is good to drive, comfortable, spacious and frugal. I'm really pleased with it!”

“I have only had it for seven months and it is my first diesel. I am converted to diesel now, having been a sceptic previously. It is economical but has plenty of oomph when needed. There are no squeaks or rattles and it is a very comfortable car to drive. It has lived up to all my expectations, and having previously owned an Omega which I loved, my expectations were high.”

“Generally a solid reliable car - good drive & economy. Let down by silly persistent faults that main dealers "cant find". Left with the feeling that you get what you pay for - so dint expect too much.”

“Nice car with plenty of toys, good motorway cruiser but uses too much oil.”

“Have only had car for two months. Pleased overall, but MPG seems to differ considerably from what manufacturer states.”

“It covers long distances at a rapid pace in reasonable comfort and exceptional economy. Reliability has been 100 per cent. I couldn't ask for much more for £12k.”

“Generally a good car with a superb engine (3.0 V6 diesel), spoilt only by poor ride quality on UK urban roads, and one or two build quality problems, mostly fixed on delivery. Service operations at my particular dealership were chaotic.”

“Practical, spacious, comfortable and ideal for the size of our family it is LIFE model but it has some practical extras as standard and useful little gadgets.”
