Very good feel. Nice balanced steering and precise controls.

Living with it
Reliability
Few problems and never let me down on the road.
Image
A bit dated now, but she still looks good and you get that warm feeling when you see another one.
Comfort
Very comfortable. Good, supportive seats and supple ride. Clanky when cold, but quiet under-way.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm tends to play up, so ends up being switched off, but no problems in 5 years except one failed attempt.

Very good. Best from Becks.
