Great

* Bottom-cosseting ride and plenty of room for five
* Two fine 1.6 turbodiesels with excellent fuel economy
* Decent safety kit, and standard treats

Gripes

* Bodyroll in corners when fully loaded with passengers
* Lack of deadlocks or alarm a temptation for thieves
* Petrol engine will struggle if the whole family's on board
DriveDrive rating - 4 out of 5 stars
The 1.6 diesels are the best bet; ride is comfy on all roads but body roll could make passengers feel queasy
 ReliabilityReliability rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Proven mechanics covered by a three year warranty and 12-year anti-rust cover
InsideInside rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Futuristic dash is novel, but the driving position won't suit everyone
 SpaceSpace rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Bags of space whether you're transporting four adults, or growing kids and the family dog
SafetySafety rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Safety kit is good but without deadlocks or an alarm, a thief will make short work of unloading any goodies on show
 Standards and extrasStandards and extras rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Not bad: even base models get electric front windows, central locking and a CD player
