Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet, apart from the sensors which have a mind of their own.
Image
It gets the looks, even in standard form.
Comfort
Very nice in the front. No handles in the back, combined with leather seats is poor designing.

Alarm, immobiliser (not Thatcham) and deadlocks.
