You poor sod, that last one looks suspiciously like a Maverick/Terrano, had one breifly, indeed it did have seven seats but it was the biggest pile of dog doo I have ever driven.

Slow, uncomfortable and noisy, and those were the good points.

I sympathise wholeheartedly but am wondering why you bought it if SHarans, Galaxy's and Espace's are available, unless of course you really need 4wd, they do off road pretty well through, until the gearbox disentegrates.

Found it far from uncomfortable when testing . Time will tell how reliable the Auto box is (Classic Impreza Imports are supposed to have Soft engines but I've had 3 without a problem ),its a Jap import fully specced up, 38000 clicks SHE likes it and SHE will be using it 90% of the time.(would have had a Pajero but couldn't find a decent cheap one to trade against)
The 'POOR ME' thread title was more aimed at me having ,due to lack of finances,having to trade my toy for a family Bus.
As far as people carriers go .....well.... just dont fancy one ,my opinion only.

Agree with J4cko on the Terrano, but if you have a 2.7diesel it might be interesting, at least in a straight line.
