Living with it
Reliability
From all reports quite reliable but our particular car has been in and out of garage with problems such as ABS failure, ESP failure, carpet wear from clutch depression after only one month. Problems with central locking and condensation in light fittings.
Image
Looks quite smart, but lacks something on the back. Spoiler would finish it off perfectly.
Comfort
Very comfortable and spacious in front and back, good height on seats allow excellent view... boot quite small, but adequate.

Security and Service
Security
Dealocks and immobiliser. No alarm.
Service
Very poor after-sales service. Slow on diagnosing and fixing problems. Very unclear about length of time to get in parts and fix problems. Very difficult to secure courtesy cars.
