"Expensive fun"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

High consumption (13 L / 100 km)

Gear synchronisation broke at 140000 km (high cost)

Have been told that cardan has to be replaced (high costs!)

1st gear NEVER worked properly (car stalls when not starting very carefully) (PS: Yes, with other cars I managed not to stall :-) )

General comments?

Easy to drive car, which is fun to drive.

We used it often as a camper, as the back is big and great and flat, perfect to sleep in with 2 persons (if not giants, quod non).

Great when driving quickly: overtaking with 120 km / h. is easy!

Agree with all the negative and positive comments:

GREAT fun for a large family, can fit three bicycles in rear and two people! Sexy, cool appearances, BUT so expensive:

Clutch master cylinder twice, timing belt (£1200 of damage/repairs), dodgy alarm, fuel sender unit -all repairs costing an arm and a leg. Should I switch to a Ford Galaxy?
