Reliability
No major faults at all. Been back 5 x in 12 months. Rattles - from Gear Cable and speedometer. They still haven't managed to sort the gear cable but have managed to mess-up the oil level sensor, which now gives warning that the Oil level is too high.
Image
New shape not as daring as the original but I prefer it and it still turns enough heads.
Comfort
All 6 seats are adult size, unlike Honda FRV. Should have driver left arm rest and seat support under thighs a little short.

Security and Service
Security
Has a factory fitted alarm. has noticed that it's gone off a few times for no apparent reason.
Service
I'm now loosing patience with the service people. Since the 1st service I have had go back 3 times. Each time the car comes back with a new fault. Although these are minor but none the less extremely annoying as I live 20 miles away.
