Usual airbags and ABS, brake pedal retreats in a collision, fuel cut off, ISOFIX child seat fixing points. More space between the back row of seats and the rear of the vehicle than some rivals. Immobiliser and alarm but it's advisable to fit a tracking system.

Reliability

We've heard of no reliability issues, since it went on sale in 2000. The only foreseeable problems are neglectful owners who don't keep to the service schedule, and interior damage from heavy-handed families.

Can be awkward to park, so check for damage to bumpers, doors.

Too new to tell but must have service history.

Check for damage to the interior from kids, animals.
