Economy
Value
Excellent spec - you get everything.
Costs
Fuel economy good, especially when driven in economy mode. Parts below average, if you shop around.

On the road
Driving
Excellent choice of driving positions - suits the very tall, to the very short, as seats move in every direction.
Performance
Steady but drop down a gear and it flies - great for overtaking.

Had it three years and never had a problem.
