Living with it
Reliability
Oh dear! Where do we start. Very unreliable. Bits fall of, break and just annoy you.
Image
It's Italian so you look good at the side of the road or in the garage when it's broken.
Comfort
Ride is too firm. You'll feel every wasp you run over.

Security and Service
Security
Not to bad. An alarm would be nice but you have to do with a immobiliser as standard.
Service
Dealers cost an arm and a leg. Tried to rip me off by charging double for a service which was the same bits to be checked as a previous service. Luckily I'm not stupid. Actually I am as I bought the previous model.
