What Car? says
For Its engines are powerful and relatively frugal
Against The interior is dull and the ride is too firm
Verdict
Unfairly overlooked as a good, solid family car
Go for… 2.0-litre GLS
Avoid… 2.5-litre V6
- 1. Alloy wheels, twin front airbags, sunroof, remote central locking alarm, cruise control and four electric windows come as standard
- 2. Although mechanical problems are very rare, when they do occur they can be quite pricey to fix
- 3. The automatic gearbox can cause an expensive problem, but because this was a cost option, it shouldn’t be too hard to find a manual version
- 4. The suspension is notoriously pricey to overhaul, so make sure it’s in good order by checking for uneven tyre wear
- 5. The braking system is the most common cause of problems, so make sure the car stops in a straight line
