Always smooth, couldn't fault it.

Steady as she goes, nothing brilliant but has a bit of nip in her.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems at all, did have leak in air hose once but took 15 mins to fit new one - that's it in 2 years.
Image
Bit too common now - alloys make it stand out a bit more but too many around.
Comfort
Plenty of space, Ikea trips easy, gadgets galore.

Security and Service
Security
Factory fitted immobiliser ok, no alarm though. But never got stolen so cant be bad.
Service
Costly but good service.
