    Value

    Depreciation is ridiculous, lost £3000 in 18 months!

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Dealership servicing costs are not cheap, I was quoted £50 to change a head light bulb, drinks the petrol like there's no tomorrow.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Can't fault the handling, smooth on long motorway journeys.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonable at low revs, feels a bit slugish on the motorway.
