    Yep, and love it! Our is a 2004 I think.

    My only gripe is there is a MASSIVE blind spot with the bars down the side of the windscreen. Can't tell you how many times people/cars have suddenly appeared from behind it on crossings & things. And you notice it when going around roundabouts & stuff, it's a big flaw in my opinion.

    Aside from that tho, we absolutely love ours. I can understand the points about sitting people in the back with anchor belts above their heads. If we have a 3rd, we'll be needing to fit 3 car seats. i think 3 will fit across the middle row of seats ok if we change over to more compact ones. We'll just have to see I guess!

    We have a luggage box for on top if we need extra boot space.

    yep thats the fault i saw too scary too but being such a small engine i found it had power when needed so overall happy with the car.
    need to be careful with the view tho

    This actually happened to me last night - was turning right onto a busy road at an intersection with no traffic lights, checked both ways, all clear so I start to pull out, next minute this white car appears on my left, from behind the big bar on the windscreen. Lucky I wasn't going any faster or I would have run into it! That's the first time that has happened to me with this car, but I am definitely going to be more vigilant in the future!
