Living with it
Reliability
Aging model was good for first 6 months, then slowly began to disintegrate.
Image
'Sensible' choice, but looks increasingly dated. Not as tacky as 16v version.
Comfort
Superb seats and ride, though engine gets noisy at revs.

Dealers are attrocious. Expensive and often incompetent when dealing with hydraulics.
