Hi, we have an Estima Emina 8 seater, 2.2dt automatic, we have owned for over 2 years now, I absolutely love driving it, it has the smoothest auto gear box you will ever experience, air con, privacy glass, curtains all round, front and rear parking sensors, loads of boot space even with all 8 seats being used, 33mpg normal driving, ours tows our caravan 1200kg with no probs at all.  The middle row of seats swivel around so six of you can sit facing each other whilst having a picnic in the rain!!!  Side sliding door is very good if you have children as they all have to go in and get out the same side which i think is safer.  The only gripe i have with mine is the middle seat in both rows are only lap belts, but this is due to the seat configuration.

As far as servicing, my husband (car mechanic by trade) does not have a problem with servicing the engine under the seat and passenger seat just lifts up when you need to check oil etc.

Some insurance companies will not insure these as they are imports, but i have never had a problem.

I will not be getting rid of mine in the forseeable future as they are just such a good large versatile car that is so easy to drive.
