This will start to dip at 65- 70mph, but the engine for me performed very economically when cruising around 60-65 on my motorway trips. Performance wise, most of the time I travel longer distances driving for 30+ minutes at a time and therefore have averaged 60+ mpg in the summer and 55+ mpg in the winter, higher on premium diesel. For a modern car this is definitely a good sign, watch the crash test videos to see how well it performed. I was rear ended at a junction and despite the third party driving at decent speed, it barely scratched the body work. On that note, the rear seats moving forward with a simple handle is an excellent installation, as long as no adults are sitting in the back! Overall it's manageable for a family of four with two young children, the boot is still bigger than a Nissan Juke for example.Īlso on the positive side, the car feels very sturdy and well built and I'm assuming a lot of the internal bulkiness helped the car achieve its 5 star Euro NCAP rating. The boot is a decent size, although not particularly big, it struggles to fit our pushchair in with a few other items when we're going away unless you move the seats forward. There has still been enough space to take us on quite a few family holidays with plenty packed into it. Starting off with space, it feels a little cramped and feels quite bulky inside. Previously, I've owned a Transit, Transit Connect, Vectra, Fiesta, Corsa, Ka, Seicento (those two were my wife's), Focus, Honda Insight, L200 and Berlingo so have a decent base for comparison. This car is coming near to the end of my three year lease and overall I'd recommend it as a good family vehicle, as my second new car I can say I've really enjoyed owning it.
