In their own words
The overall package is really good, styling, comfort and flexibility.
The spec is fantastic (although mine was a few month before the facelift so missed out on apple car play) I love the heated leather seats that have loads of electric adjustment.
The downsides I have are with the actually MPG I get from it, I would expect mid 40's for mixed driving but no matter how hard I try it don't exceed 38/39. On a run I would expect in the 50's, most I've got was 45-47. When compared to my 2015 pug 5008 I would have got 55+ MPG.
The other gripe I find is for a diesel it doesn't like low RPM, it just stalls again where others still chug along. It's not a deal breaker just more annoying especially like me your in and out of vehicles all day and the majority will carry on at low RPM where this stalls.
Overall the car is lovely and I would recommend, but with the knowledge that the MPG claimed isn't achievable at all.
