  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    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.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not that willing to help if you plan to try and repair problems yourself and also parts are very expensive for repair by them.
