    Exactly. My 535d is 400 quid or so.

    Anyone own a Fiat Multipla?
    It looks as awkward as a platypus buy I like the interior lay out .
    They never came to the U.S. so I have no idea how good they are but I think they are perfect for a family wagon .

    Yes I've seen ones with a sticker in the rear window saying "If you think this looks weird you should see the front". From a mechanical and practical point of view they were very well reviewed, but I know if I owned one I'd never wash it. Like putting lipstick on a pig.

    Just had a google - maybe not that great mechanically.

    To bad they didn't do a better job of making it dependable .
    The interior is the best use of space I have ever seen.
    I like the wider platform, it makes so much sense.

    think the late models were a bit more reliable. A neighbour had one for a while, and he joked it was a car share with his mechanic

    That is funny , It is in a race with the Pontiac Aztec or Citroen DS Estate for odd looking that is for sure.
    Did the UK import the Aztek? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAf1riXwPOk

    Don't have Pontiac anything over here, as far as I know. Citroen have always gone their own way styling-wise. Can be a decent 2nd hand buy, due to their value dropping like a stone as soon as they come out of the showroom.
