Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent value for a premium brand, however depreciation will hit us more than likely!
Costs
Paying on a pcp all inclusive, however regular trips to the garage are proving costly.
-
On the road
Driving
Excellent handling and accurate steering though I can't give it 5 as rear wheel drive BMWs etc handle better.
Performance
Feels extremely fast especially for a diesel and really does leave other cars for dead. On paper not the best diesel engine in the market but I love it!
-
Living with it
Reliability
Several problems including brake problems at new, 2 air flow meter's breaking leading to huge loss of power. Leaking windscreen, rattle in boot, the list of niggly things go on! 3 dealer visits within 2 months a severe waste of time - 3 months old
Image
Excellent. Most people love the look of the car and due to its rarity stands out too.
Comfort
Very comfortable over long journeys for a coupe (I drive all day for my job). Arm rest included, lumbar support ok and seats are very supportive with good driving position.

Security and Service
Security
Good alarm, though it has gone off a couple of times e.g. when opening boot
Service
Very average, don't go out of their way but seem friendly enough.
