    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Has never let us down. Needed a new gearbox (known faulty batch): bought reconditioned one which was fine.

    But image isn't everything. Reliability was more important to us.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Could do with more legroom in the rear and air-conditioning. Cabin noise at higher speeds.
