Servicing unknown as yet. Economy not too bad varying from arond 39mpg in town to 47.5 on long journeys with 42.5 average. Onboard mpg reading is a bit overoptimistic.

On the road
Driving
Light controls. Very smooth auto gearbox. Undramatic. Not very exciting and doesn't feel poised when pushed. Easy to manoeuvre and park. Good town car.
Performance
Alright. With one or two in the car it's brisk enough. Fill the back with two passengers and it starts to drag a bit. Keeps pace with traffic easily.

Reliability

Image
Pensioner's car for pensioners and non-pensioners alike.
Comfort
Lots of space in the back with completely flat rear floor. Leather seats. Front passenger footwell space seems tight. Too much road noise coming from rear (very noticeable on some surfaces). Lurches a bit on S bends. However no major complaints.

Security
Central locking controlled by push down door lock. Irritating.
