What are they like to own? Reliability etc
French… 😉
Bullet proof diesel engine, clunky slow gearbox, stuffed with electronic novelties that I am still waiting to malfunction…
Its a functional family car, not a sexy drive, more like a motorised sofa.
It’s got more luggage space than an estate but does worse on fuel… Standard MPV trade off.
It’s Good to load up and go camping and bike riding with though, sit on the slow lane and set cruise to 60-65 and meander to your destination…
The kids like it, and its cured me of any lingering boy racer notions, my missus can’t Park it but the same would be true of a yaris…
They are cheap to own used, mainly because a fair few got bought for disabled use under the (now scrapped IIRC) “motorbility” scheme due to the easy to use gears and then rotated back to the market making them quite common. It also means they were well maintained for at least the first ~50-60k… Which helps.
Avoid the pneumatic suspension on the older ‘exclusive’ models easy to fix but when it goes, potentially deadly…
