On the road
Driving
Not sporty but has a 'safe' feel; suffers from understeer. Over-rated and disappointing suspension/ride at town streets speeds or on rough roads - definitely detracts from driving enjoyment.
Performance
Good, except fuel consumption is, disappointingly, some 12% lower than expected.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Starts and runs. Occasional niggles, e.g. audible speed warning, clock losing time and speaker vibration.
Image
Only 3, but a car's image is unimportant to me.
Comfort
Better suspension/ride needed at low speeds. Excellent 'cruiser'. Roomy, comfortable and pleasant interior.

Security and Service
Security
Untested, fortunately.
