    Base level 3.2 is smooth and rapid enough for most driving. get a bigger engine if you're a petrol head!

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I like the fact that this car is classy and understated - but it really has no wow factor in the golf club car park. If that's what you want, get something else!

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Incredibly quiet cabin, very well designed seats, excellent, clever air conditioning system.
