Living with it
Reliability
Pretty good so far - just a few squeaks from the interior trim.
Image
Underated. 'A wolf in sheep's clothing' doesn't quite do it justice!
Comfort
Quiet, comfortable seats, only slightly bumpy ride and the engine noise only really becomes intrusive at high revs.

Security and Service
Security
Pretty good as standard, although mine has an aftermarket CAT 2 alarm and immobiliser.

Local Rover dealer has been very good so far.
