What Car? says
For You'll like the Espace's flexible seating, comfortable ride, good safety kit and stylish looks
Against Poor boot space with all seven seats in place
Verdict
It's comfortable and safe, but its rivals are more spacious, more versatile and cheaper
Go for… 2.2 dCi Expression
Avoid… 3.5 V6 petrol
- 1. You can fit seven people, but save the rearmost pair of seats for the kids
- 2. Diesels can be prone to trouble, so steer clear of any models with excessive exhaust smoke
- 3. Clutches can be problematic, especially on diesels
- 4. Pay special attention to the electric handbrake, which can stick
- 5. Tyre wear is heavy, and you may need to replace a set of fronts after 12,000 miles, sometimes less
