Lots of car for the money. Plenty of electric this and that.

The older the car, the more the cost.

Comfortable sports seats. Rear view not so good.

Got the speed, acceleration and handling to shame lots of newer cars.

Living with it
Reliability
Not had a major problem. Elec sunroof sticks, but always starts first time.
Image
I love the look, but it's not to everyone's taste.
Comfort
Back sets a little cramped, but plenty of room up front.

Security
Central locking and steering wheel lock only. No modern security at all.
