I'm a moderate 250 miles per week usage. Very good for long trips especially.
Image
Enough Q-DOS for the masses, who would love to own own if only they could afford a newer one.
Comfort
Sports seats are great. Side armrests are a little too low and a little too high for complete comfort, but still great driver's position.

Security
Alarmed and immobilised.
