Reliability
On my third set of brake disks, add to that the "corroded through" washer pump - all this before 50k.

Looks good - but not the quality I would have expected.
Comfort
Good seats - and I like the armrest.

If your alarm goes off after a trip in which you used wash wipe that will be it a leak from your washer pump.
