What Car? says
For It's tough, comes in six- or seven-seat models, and has good standard kit
Against The interior is dull, the suspension struggles on rough surfaces, and fuel economy is poor
Verdict
It's a comfortable family cruiser with good interior space, but lacks versatility
Go for… 2.4 petrol
Avoid… 2.0 petrol
- 1. The Space Wagon needs servicing every 9000 miles, which can make it costly to run
- 2. Suspension damage is worth looking out for, given how firmly the Space Wagon rides down bumpy roads
- 3. The brake booster unit on some early cars needed modification, so check that’s been done if you’re considering a '98-'99 model
- 4. The quality of the interior is average in comparison to rival models, so look for broken switchgear and shabby upholstery
- 5. Mounting the gearstick high on the centre console leaves room in the footwells for bags
