We are reluctantly selling our Shuttle 7 seater. This car has been an excellent servant to our family and even extended family as passengers (using 1 car instead of 2). We have owned this car for over 2 years now (not a recent purchase that we are unhappy with) and have never had any problems other than changing consumables (breakes, tyres, cv boot).
The car has regular services and checks done by my brother in law who is a mechanic. It has taken us to costa blanca and back three times now (once through france - the long way!) and it laughed at the milage. Knowing about the durability of Hondas and how this one is I am confident to say it will continue to clock up the miles and... well I dont think it will ever stop running, even if services are not as frequent.
The car is very comfrortable and has a good ride - not too firm and not too soft. The 2.2 16valve engine never seems to run out of pulling power even fully loaded up hill and although this car has never towed it will pull caravans of almost any size effortlessly, aided by its 4 wheel drive system.
These shuttles often come with only 6 seats but this one has 7 seats all with seatbelts, 2 of which fold away into the boot floor giving a 5 seater with a van size load area. Most other mpv seats fold but still remain occupying potential load space.
The car has passed its MOT only requiring a CV boot to be changed (a pin prick hole in the old one). It has 5 good tyres 3 of which are recent. It had a new upper ball joint suspension arm fitted. Although this car is not widely seen on the road as mondeos and vectras parts can be found for them very easily and cheaply on ebay/internet and from various car parts suppliers.
This car is supprisingly good round town on fuel for its size and even better on the motorway, even fully loaded. Insurance is very cheap fully comprehensive as it qualifies for classic insurance.
