  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Quite the most unreliable piece of junk I have ever had the misfortune to own. Would need a couple of pages to detail the faults, major and minor (ranging from total engine management failure through to bits of trim and both indicators pods falling off)

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good looking head-turner - has become a bit commonplace now

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Lot of equipment, excellent heated seats

    2 out of 5 2.0
