On the road
Driving
Hampered heavily by automatic transmission, ride is comfortable but sloppy and unenthusiastic in performance driving.
Performance
17.3 seconds 0-60 is taking the mickey. Though it pulls strongly in 1st and second, it needs to be floored on hills and you need to use the low range settings often.

Living with it
Reliability
Good, but the on-board computer cocks up frequently.
Image
Rapidly becoming known as a massive turn-around, you can get a high spec VW for much less of the price.
Comfort
Good, sturdy and a good trim, but a little plane Jane.
