Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Take the badge away and compared to other cars, it's very under-equiped.
Costs
Expensive when you add the toys which other cars have as standard.

On the road
Driving
Very good for long distance work, but wheel arches in the boot let you down on load space.
Performance
Brakes overheat far too easily and can fade if driven hard.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Dropped oil everywhere as oil filler cap worked loose.
-
Security and Service
Security
Like most, it's a company car, so who carers?
Service
Unhelpfull, stubborn and unflexible. The one I go to now Heathrow BMW is much better though (the other shall remain nameless).
