Any one had one of these ill be looking for the diesel modle for the wife around a 02 plate cheers

 

with the hdi engine be firm on cambeklt change, ive seen loads of em snap as think they recomend loadsa miles between changes, unless it was done recently ish get a new one done, bottom pullys can become noisey and eventually break off, german and swedish do em cheap though

 

one of the worst cars u can buy according to a recient Which survey

 

i dissagree the engines are fine in cars its just loaded vans that kills em, my m8 has one gos really well, all my family are mechanics etc i do see a fair few stripped but only for snapped belts and bottom pullys, they are a bit plasticy inside but the rides ok, depreciation is moderate, they tend to come in nice colours too, if you can look past the badge there not bad motors, stay away from petrol and auto ones

 

Dreadfull things, shame on you for thinking of buying one! Dont get the whole people carrier things

My mate has bought one because he has a kid, what 1 kid! so you have to get one? Get a freaking grip OF course you might have more, but still i would never buy one i would just get estate car 4x4

 

agree with Rhys totally

 

Two girls 4 and 6 and one on the way i think they look shit but the wife likes them and they are cheep.Or a c max bit more money but better looking any other sugestions,i must be able to get 3 kids in the back in theyer safety seats

 

They might be known to be shit but my mum has one and its been 110% reliable since she got it in 2001.

Its gets used everyday and gives around 48mpg

As much as I hate French cars I can't fault it.

 

or if you want good go for a german diesel mpv, my wife uses a galaxt tdi, flown through every mot for the last 5 years, all we have done is oil change and cambelt last year. and the fooking thing has done over 350,000 miles

 

Seat alhambra tdi.
48mpg and decent price, VW build quality apart from badge.
