In their own words
Love the way it looks.
Heated seats common failure to go wrong Gearbox not great - Clunky Diesel felt like a tank - Hard to drive and I consider myself experience in a wide range of vehicles.
A big hefty car, if you put your foot down been prepared for contact ESP and traction to kick in. Do not even think about putting cheap tyres on this thing and it handles like a boat as it is.
How reliable do you find the car?
Clutch went at 38k, not uncommon apparently due to the clutch and flywheel being plastic....or so i've heard and read online! If you clutch goes various forums highly recommend the flywheel change at the same time because it wrecks both. Be prepared for multiply NOx sensors to keep going. DPF blockages. Make sure you use this car for big miles only.Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
The day I test drove this vehicle it felt superb. 170bhp and looked the business in the VX-Line trim. But then reality of my lack of pre purchase reviews and research let me down this time. Annoying AD-BLUE to get you into £30 a year road tax. Not worth the hassle that it causes DPF problems and various NOx sensor issues on exhausts etc just for reference - NOx sensors on average are £400 each a pop from your garage.About their car
