General comments?
Served a family of six for 10 years with little serious problem.
Good acceleration for a diesel automatic and great top speed. Not tiring to drive on long journeys.
Fuel economy was excellent.
Very comfortable seating especially when in 6 seat mode.
Poor organized luggage space but amazing what we managed to hide in nooks and crannies.
