    I like it, not many around which is a plus point for me. if it was quicker it would be a real 'Q' car.Has dealer fit 16" BBS split rim alloys and black metallic paint, sets the car off nicely without being in your face.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very comfortable, back seats look alright to me, but I don't have passengers often so I couldn't care less
