In their own words

The only fault I could criticize this car with is the seat, the shape of which I found very uncomfortable, until I managed to correct the problem by putting a blanket on the seat to raise me up a tad, and now I am very comfortable in the seat. Other than that, it is probably true to say that the car is not quite as exciting to drive as some, but that said, I think the car has been designed to be comfortable and refined on the road rather than "sporty". The quality of this car has impressed me greatly, both the exterior and interior finish is excellent. The five year warranty and break-down cover was a real selling point. The dash is very attractive and great quality, the boot is a good size and the drive is actually excellent. The gear change is really nice, the brakes are very smooth, powerful and perfectly weighted. All controls and switches feel very nice to use and are made from good quality materials. The steering wheel is so nice compared to other cars I have driven and the steering itself has excellent feel, weighting and feedback, at all speeds. Visibility is superb and unobstructed. Engine and wind noise are heavily suppressed and the suspension set up is absolutely out of this world, it is supple and soaks up road imperfections with ease, yet the car holds the road well. The only reason for not buying this car would be if you wanted something sporty and entertaining. Buy one. Equipment level is high also, the car has some nice toys.

How reliable do you find the car?

Just that the gear-box occasionally crunches slightly, but seemingly very minor, perhaps because the car is new.
