Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A very well equipped car at a sensible price. Much better value than BMW & Benz.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Too early to tell. Service costs less than indicated by dealer at purchase so very pleased so far. Tyres expensive, so need to be careful with the right foot!

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very smooth & quiet, especially on motorway.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Absolutely no complaints. The looks of surprise from other drivers when using the right foot are a genuine pleasure. This is how overtaking should be done.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    One very minor electical niggle so far.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bags of space, front and back. The most comfortable seat I have experienced yet. 2 - 3 hours in the saddle and I still emerge fresh as a daisy.

  • Security and Service

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The dealer made huge efforts to find a used car in the right colour, spec & trim. The aftersales and servicing has also exceeded expectations. Far and away the best dealership I have ever come across.
