Economy
Value
Value for money? Poor.
Costs
Auto fuel consumption high, about 23mpg at best. Servicing ridiculous at main dealers, most parts expensive. Buy from independents or breakers!

On the road
Driving
Absolutely excellent off road, ponderous pulling away (auto) cruises ok over long distances. Rattles and rolls a lot.
Performance
(Auto) VERY sluggish, almost dangerous on busy junctions to pull away. Decent cruiser.

Living with it
Reliability
Alarm system has immobilised the car on several occassions... apart from that, it hasn't 'not arrived' it's just the multitude of bits that fall off on the way.
Image
Ok - many about. Classless.
Comfort
Reasonably good. Leather would've been better.
-
Security and Service
Security
Average. Alarm goes off for no reason at times. Door locks have broken on numerous occassions.
Service
Very poor. Very expensive. Nice marble and pot plants in reception though.
