Living with it
Reliability
Only once did it unexplainably not start when hot.
Image
Great looking car with wide appeal.
Comfort
Recaros, Recaros. Lack of grippy seats let it down.
-
Security and Service
Security
Not been nicked, but has anybody tried to yet?
Service
Dire and expensive from a main dealer in Aylesbury. Take it to a local garage and save hundreds and accept losing £100 on re-sale value.
