Yeah they don't get good reviews! They are very sluggish and not overly economical. Almost bought a very low mileage (32000) 52 plate 2.5v6 auto. Now if you want a bad review read that! Certainly stopped me buying one! Jue had her last one 3 1/2 years and to be fair it was a cracking car. They suit her needs well. We have two dogs that travel everyday with her in a cage in the boot and we have a horse so bags of snap etc. She doesnt do many miles so diesel isn't necessary but would have been nice. We opted for 70000 miles on a petrol rather than 130/140000 on a diesel for the Same money.
