Helpful to take your money but not interested with complaints, problems or after sales care at all!

What's it like to drive?

The car drives well (unless it's playing up) gears get noisy then gearbox packs up, changed every 10000 miles!! Really good to drive though and handles well, will out perform most cars similar!

As good as any car of the size.

Very spacious inside

Electric sunroof!
