What Car? says
For It's roomy, well made, affordable, and sweet to drive. It looks good, too
Against It has a firm-ish ride around town, and some road noise on the motorway
Verdict
It's not as cheap as a Mondeo or Vectra, but it is a notch classier in most respects
Go for… 2.0 D 140bhp TS
Avoid… 2.0 S
- 1. A few owners have reported clutch failure on both diesels and petrols with fewer than 30,000 miles on the clock
- 2. The load area is easy to get at and the seats drop easily and quickly, with no need to remove the headrests
- 3. S trim is at the bottom of the range, but still has plenty of kit, including air-con and a CD player
- 4. The rear seats are comfortable enough for three people
- 5. The 2.0-litre petrol is a decent engine, but the 140bhp diesel is better still
