Hardly had any major problems with this car. Let me down twice in the 7 years I've had this car!
Image
Rep/family car, but I'm not bothered about that as someone has always got something better!
Comfort
Great on the motorway.

Security and Service
Security
Deadlocking good - infact too good - central locking now shot it - it locks me in!
Service
Marshalls in Leicester very good. They fixed any quibbles I had, but are very expensive - do not use them now.
