It's roomy and comfortable, and very good on the open road. The engine's plenty powerful...but its a bit louder now than when we bought it. The transmission isn't great...its very very clunky, especially from a standing start. The suspension gives quite a nice ride quality, but that makes it a bit wallowy through the bends. On the whole though, not a bad car for the money we paid for it.

Nice thread - really interesting to see other people's opinions of their car and how far they can stretch the truth...
