Anyone who's got one care to share their thoughts on it? I'm thinking of getting a diesel version, not the new shape, anything I should look out for?

Curses! Wrong Forum, sorry!

Wife has a diesel one; needs it primarily for horsebox towing duties as she's away competing most weekend – but it's also a comfortable enough car for holidays and longer distances. Bought it from new a couple of years ago; the shape has changed recently so might be the one you're looking at?

Well (it surprised me) made, reliable, reasonably economical bearing in mind the size and type of vehicle. I *think* I'm right in saying it's a Mercedes engine, but stand to be corrected.

my tutor had a kia rio while i was at uni, horrible, horrible, horrible thing that bounced arround everywhere making you seasick yet obliterated your spine into pices over a pothole.
