Anyone know anything about these as I've just inherited one as a company smoke. Oh and its diesel as well.

I've driven a few. Though they were the old ones not the new one. I used to drive the 1.9dci with 100bhp. Terrible off the line at traffic lights, but on the move they keep pace quite alright. Fuel economy is 43mpg or thereabouts, and the best thing is they are so comfortable on a run. Otherwise, they have a few gadgets to keep you amused, steering wheel radio controls etc. But if I had a choice I'd take the cash anyday.

I've driven an old diesel one.

Fine as a reps car - worst thing about it was the seating / steering wheel position in my opinion.

Big bus!

My brother has one as an interim car (inbetween a scooby and something silly). The thing is huge. Reversing is a nightmare. Oh and it has big blind spots. Best to get one of those stick on blind spot mirrors. works wonders.

Handling is OK I suppose, bit wallowing round corners. He's is a 2.0lt pertol but still slow as hell.

It's a car and goes from A-B...umm that's about it realy.
