It is good on handling - accelerates well and handles speed bumps with ease, good boot space and you can fold the back seats down for even more room. 1.6 uses less unleaded petrol than my former 2.0 people carrier. Downside is - looks ugly, brakes are always squeaking, its battery needed replacing shortly after buying it (because it was a demo car methinks) and fan belt has broken leading to not being able to turn right - almost crashed going to Surrey because of that!
