Economy
Value
Outstanding value, although servicing and spares not cheap and fuel economy not stunning , most manufacturers connot get this kind of reliability on new models let alone 7 year old ones!
Costs
Servicing at main dealer not cheap but it's the only time they get to see the car.

I have never owned a car with such outstanding reliability. 100% faultless not even a bulb. Most manufacturers cannot get this level of reliability on new models let alone 7 year old ones!!

I cannot understand why this vehicle is not more widely appreciated as it is not that bad looking most newer cars look worse!
Comfort
Hard wearing firm seating decent stereo climate control there is not much wrong with that.
