Summary
What does this car say about you?
It looks more expensive than it really cost and it does attract admiring looks from other drivers.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Everyone loves the car as it is very roomy and can carry 5 adults with ease and in comfort.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, I am very disappointed with the fuel consumption and the so called ECU upgrade that was installed on the last service, this has increased the fuel consumption and has made the gear changes take far too long.
What are you likely to buy next?
I am looking at Volvo, Audi, BMW and Mercedes. The next car I buy will be taken for an extended test drive over two days to see exactly what the fuel consumption figures really are.
