    Nice cushioned ride. a touch of roll through the body but still not offputting.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Image wise, quite a looker to start with but starting to look a bit aged. Facelift model helped freshen up a bit.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Comfort is great . SX provides lumber support on drivers seat, although not very active, other wise steering wheel drops to suit arm length.
