Reliability
This is the most unreliable car I have had. Engine rebuild after driving through water (£8000), two failed turbos, failed starter motor (recovered twice before they found the fault), now it regularly doesn't start if you leave it faced uphill overnight.
Comfort
My only grumble is the air con has no setting between coldest and 15 degrees C. I am constantly switching between the two.

Security
Well it's never been nicked.
Service
Apart from not diagnosing the failed starter first time, service has been fine.
