General Comments
A superb car. I have a 1998 model, with 93k on the clock. It is very reliable - I didn't use the car for about 3 weeks at one point but when I needed the car again it started up straight away! I've also slept in the car a few times - the seats fold down easily to make a really comfy bed! Good boot space - but if you have even more stuff then the seats fold down easily! For a 2.2 engine I don't think it's very guzzling on the petrol - as long as I don't push the engine the fuel supply will last a long time. Once I filled up with £10 and it lasted miles and miles so I think it depends on how you drive the car. The only small downside is parking the car! It's such a huge car that getting into spaces can be hard but with the superb power steering and large mirrors it does get easier to park! What I love the most about the Shuttle is how high up you are - it feels like you're king of the road - the windscreen is a superb shape and it feels like you're in a real Shuttle!
