Toys, wet paint, tinted windows, comfy seats - looks cool.

Security and Service
Security
No load cover as standard, but no one tried to break in.
Service
Brought on the internet from a non local main dealer - no problem. Local main dealer service, incompetent - failed to spot the most fundamental of problems, returned more than once to be re-serviced.

Leaking power steering union that contaminated the belts.
