Living with it
Reliability
Ignition gremlins, especially in damp conditions.
Image
Not quite as eye catching as 3 years ago, but still better than comparable competition.
Comfort
Seats could be more comfortable, but plenty of room for a big gizza like me and the kids.

Security and Service
Security
Haven't had any problems yet, but electronic problems meant central locking didn't work properly for a while.
Service
Quality of service nowhere near what I'd expect for the prices they charge and they tend to fob you off in favour of fleet/biz clients.
