I thought the 2.2dci was a no go??? How about this as

Indeed! Good call. I'll ring later and find out where it is.

Good call. Much more space than a Galaxy, better ride, more refined, sliding doors and a decent interior. I had one for three years and passengers always commented on how pleasant it was to travel in. I even did Bologna to Munich 6-up (all adults) with weekend bags and there were no complaints. Mine was totally reliable and the 80 litre tank is handy too.
