"A superb family holdall"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Locking on rear door stopped working - traced to a dirty contact on the door itself.

General comments?

A superb car - comfortable, reliable - okay it drives a bit like a van - but the average driver isn't going to care about that!!

Performance is impressive for a Diesel -the new HDi is even better.

It only does 32ish to the gallon - I hate to think what the petrol version does.

Sliding rear doors are a huge benefit.

The petrol version averages 30 mpg.I'm surprised your diesel only does 32 mpg!

My diesel consumption drops to 32mpg town driving in winter, but rises to 36 in the summer when traffic is less congested.

Driving in France I achieved 45 mpg with 5 people on board and all our holiday luggage.

My main outstanding problems is with the electronic closing of big sun roof. It needs the assistance of a strong tall man to encourage it to close properly.

With a sibling 806 HDI I return 39 mpg (6 l/100km) or 36 mpg on motorway, with a light foot.

My 2ltr HDi averages around 40mpg bit more on a run if I stay below 75mph.Can't cure sliding door that will not unlock.

Regarding the sticking sliding door - I have the same problem in the winter. Turns out it is the rubber seal around the door becomes solid in the cold and sticks to the metal on the door. Solution - WD40 around the rubber seals every now and again. Works every time.

Very happy with this car - been very reliable - have the 2.0 HDi. Achieve nearly 40mpg with mixed driving (town / motorway). Love the versatility - use as car / minibus (7 seats) / van for carrying large loads. Only gripe - poor driving position. Have had to buy a BackFriend to boost me up in the seat to get the correct driving position.
