Good Points
It's big. And the seats fold up. And the engine hasn't broken down.
It's comfortable, versatile and quiet.
Bad Points
Trim falls off the interior.
The driver's seat doesn't adjust enough, and is incredibly uncomfortable if you are more than six feet tall.
The third row of seats are flimsy, and don't lock into position easily.
The electronic gadgetry is unreliable: automatic handbrake and windscreen wipers just don't work when you need them.
And it drinks more fuel than anything else I have ever driven.
General Comments
This is the third generation of the car that invented the "Mini MPV" concept, and they still haven't sorted everything out. It's a good idea, but the execution is not as good as a decent estate car.
If you really need 7 seats, then you're stuffed. Otherwise, don't bother.
