Zafira, no. Bad ride and torque steer. Totally pointless, buy a Zafira 1.6 and a proper fun car instead.

Genesis, apparently it's not bad, but in Euro terms where we care (because of tax) about fuel economy and CO2 emissions then it's pretty hopeless too.

Yes (cheap, reliable, big, comfy)
Yes (very well built, great perceived build quality and showroom appeal, smart looking)
No (too under-developed and therefore unreliable)
Yes (designed to fire your spaniel out through the rear window, and can do that very well)

Your turn:

Renault Grand Scenic
Smart ForFour
Kia Magentis
Porsche Cayenne Diesel

No (Its smaller than the Trajet and not very 'grand')
NO ( ITS DISGUSTING AND UGLY)
Yes (Its Korean and sharp looking)
Yes (Its a Porsche, got leather seats, its a diesel, its luxurious)

I dont agree with you over the Range Rover, its an excellent off roader but yes its under developed

I disagree with you on the Porsche. It's a diesel, therefore No.

I submit the MINI JCW for consideration.

Our smart forfour's only redeeming features are that it is easy to park, and light weight means fun handling. Everything else is crap. Even the sunvisors don't do a proper job!

The Mini JCW is a ok car, its quickest the car mini sells for the cooper BUT the golf gti has a smaller engine and a much better speed.
The price is about £3500 cheaper but the golf is a much better car overall.

I own a Cooper S with a lot of JCW bits. Very quick, very eagar, loads of fun.......

........BUT..........

Tramlines, torque-streers, bump-steers like a bd. Is twitchy in corners and when accelerating hard up a bumpy stretch of road has the driver convinced he may well fail to negotiate a straight. 6/10.

VW Pheaton?
