Very comfortable, very good with a trailer on the back, very spacious and really stood up to the expectations of an MPV except for the numerous mechanical faults that occured after about four years with the head gasket blowing, replace the clutch twice, replace the diesel pump and the handbreak twice.

The Sintra is a very spacious and comfortable MPV. Value for money is A1. But mechanically they are terrible: engine core plugs are a problem, as are manifolds which are £600 to replace! Lots of electrical faults which seem to come and go. If you are going to buy one I would recommend getting a mechanic to check it over first.
