    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Bit dull. the engine is surprisingly zippy considering it's appalling performance figures.

    Door moulding needed replacing under warranty and there was one recall for a belt.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Good sized boot and seats 5 comfortably.

    Oddly it's the keyless entry which wasn't a feature I was looking for. So convenient to just keep the keys in your pocket, it makes driving cars with a key seem a bit old fashioned!
