    Costs

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Depreciation is frightening. Servicing every 10,000 miles?? In the dark ages... LCD display bug***ed and a fortune to repair. Fuel economy not in vocabulary.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    If you don't want thrills, then it's great. Will cruise for ever in comfort. Even with turbo, not very quick and don't even think about cornerning hard. Definitley a motorway car.

    Average, even with turbo.
