Owned this car 20 months approx, only had to change alternator. EASY!!! Some electrical problems at rear of car.

I'm happy to be seen in this car, but probably not popular with thieves.
Comfort
Pretty good.

Security and Service
Security
Will only recognise MY ignition key due to microchip. Internal locks are integrated in handles, so cannot be opened with coathanger etc.
Service
Not bad, but expensive. They wanted £132 for new alternator. I got one elsewhere for £48 and fitted it myself.
