Gordon R Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Bought an estate 3 months ago after a succession of 4 x 4's - lads have packed in Motocross, so I don't need a tower. Fast enough, 45mpg around town, 50mpg on holiday. Seats could have more lumbar support, but other than that - excellent. Only done 2000 miles, at purchase, now over 6000. Recommended.

Gordon R Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) beerdeor - got a few Japanese cars in the fleet at work. No-one wants to drive them. We've had Nissan and currently Toyotas. You could not give them away. Dreadful ride, wallowy, sluggish, brakes don't inspire confidence. 05 plate is the oldest, so it is not as though they are elderly. Ford or Vauxhall are favoured drives.
