Nice looking car and looks quite good in the company car park.

Seats very comfortable, both front and rear. No head rests at the rear though.

Security and Service
Security
Remote centol locking with an annoying immobiliser, which cuts in after 30 seconds, so if you don't start it within this time you have to lock and unlock the doors again via the plip key.
Service
Not that willing to help if you plan to try and repair problems yourself and also parts are very expensive for repair by them.
