Excellent no complaints.

Living with it
Reliability
Excellent no problems - A minor ellectrical problem occured early on but was fixed immediately. Both break lights have gone in 1st 12m and at £30 a time to replace is a little steep.
Image
Car looks the business, particularly from the front.
Comfort
Seats are supportive but are rock hard and leave you with bum ache after a long drive. I noticed this from day one and was told they were firm but would bed in after a while. A year later they are still the same and I have been advised to use a cushion.
