Has anyone had experience of these motors long term ?
Need something with a bit of flexible space and poke and this seems to fit the bill.
Been for a test drive, not too bad although the gear lever is set a little too far back for comfort.

Cheers

 

Evo magazine had one for a long term test and raved about it.

I know what you mean about the gear stick though, it feels like its behind your shoulder!

 

Yeah, I found it a wrench to change gear, so it must be hellish around town and I don't fancy having the seat so far back just to be able to drive in comfort.

Really impressed by the Flex7 seating though. Not a huge fan of the Griffin badges but this one seemed to have most of the ticks in the right boxes as a family wagon with speed.

New ScenicII is supposed to be pretty good, and there's a 165bhp turbo model coming out too.

 

I've got one

just passed 27k in 15 months, trim quality is ****e, but its pretty quick, handling is interesting to say the least. good motorway cruiser, ok around town does'nt feel big.

be warned that vaxuhall service is unbelievably bad.
