General Comments
Excellent. An MPV that feels and drives like an estate car. Comfortable, responsive and unbelievably reliable. They are the sort of salesperson-speak phrases you would expect to hear about the Shuttle on a Honda dealer's forecourt. The amazing thing is they are all true. We have been delighted with ours since the moment we bought it. It doesn't have loads of plastic add-ons that can be broken by enthusiastic children, yet it has the useful pigeon holes here and there you would expect. I am 6'2" my wife is 4'11" and the range of driving positions means that we can both drive in utlimate comfort. Ok, so the 2.3 silky smooth engine is a little juicy, but then you don't minde because it just doesn't break down, so none of those four figure repair bills. In a nutshell, its slightly rare, slightly quirky, but all round excellent.
