Espace - Tama

Advantages: Intermediate kit, not 2 pricy
Disadvantages: mounting system can bend hoops

...No idea what this was doin in the dw section but ohwell. Good kit overall but has bin updated. Usually found with drums and hardware for about £400-£500 so not over the top on price. Triple flange hoops with star cast mounting system that fits to the rims, not the tension rods. This can be bad on the bigger drums or for heavy hitters because they can bend the rims a bit. Some ok finnishes but not great. Can get rock or fusion sizes. The shells are madeout of cheap mahogany and basswood but will sound very nice withe the right heads. The hardware that it comes with is very very sturdy and will last for ages as usuall with tama.The bad things are that you can get a rockstar custom for about £50- £100 more wjhich is worth it because you get wood bass drum hoops and better finnishes. Although, the whole series has been updated to... Read review

Advantages: The ultimate people (family) carrier!
Disadvantages: Cumbersome...??

...After having extensive engine problems with our first Espace, we decided to take what to us was a big risk and buy another?but how glad we were! With three kids, we have always needed a larger car to transport the kids, friends and all the baggage that comes with a big family! The Espace is one of the most versatile people movers: not only is it extremely spacious, but it also takes a battering (good with the kids) and, in our family, has been used for many other purposes! Flaws: I?ll start with the negatives because there aren?t many! · Large, size-wise, for London; sometimes finding parking spaces is not the easiest thing in the world · The driver is somewhat distant from the rear passengers (something to consider with children) Good Points: · Will fit in 7 people!! · Seats can be removed to create more or less space...

Advantages: Good looking MPV
Disadvantages: My daughter's friend's love having a lift in it

...I bought this car because i have two kids and three dog's. Anyway i thought i would buy a 4x4 because i did'nt like MPV's. My husband and i went looking for a 4x4 but they wernt big enough. we found an Espace i stood looking at it for a bit when my husband said "what you looking at" and i said "i quite like this one". Anyway he agreed, a week later we had our new car (well secondhand but it was new to us). it is huge i take the two seats out of the back and i can fit all three dog's in (one is a Great dane) and two kids and still you have room. We went camping with the dog's one weekend and it was perfect every thing went in fine with a roof box. And even with all seven seats in you still have a good bit of room for your shopping. The kids love the remotcontrol for the stereo. It's quite nippy too,i didnt think it would be and it look... Read review
