What Car? says
For Huge loadbay, cheap enough to buy and run
Against Smaller engines struggle; Ford Mondeo's a better drive
Verdict Practical, cheap and tough. Makes more sense than many MPVs
Go for… 1.9 CDTi 120 Design
Avoid… 2.8 V6 Elite
- 1. If the 2.2 diesel misses regular oil checks/top-ups, it can run dry and seize
- 2. The 2.2 petrol can snap its timing chains
- 3. The clutch return spring has been known to stretch and cause premature wear or failure
- 4. Cabin and loadbay are huge, with plenty of room for a family of five and their luggage
