I have had no need to use the breakdown rescue service in 13 months of ownership from new.

Its Mercedes-Benz quality at significantly lower prices, staid and unfussy appearance suits me.

Seats firm but supportive, go for optional height adjusters with under seat trays at around £100 extra.

The car has been secure so far. The flashing red light by the drivers door is a good warning signal.
