On the road
Driving
Firm suspension with excellent handling on A and B roads alike. The brakes are the best I've had on a car. It eats up the miles without any effort.
Performance
Very torquey engine, with plenty of power on tap... never disapoints. There high torque means that there is no need to down-change overtake.

Living with it
Reliability
Alarm sensor had to be changed for a UK spec unit. Manufacturers recall on engine seal. The car has done 8000 miles in just over 3 months (mainly heavily loaded) with no problems at all. Different league compared to my horrendous TDCI Mondeo
Image
Car generally receives positive praise, the interior quality and spec is also complimented.
Comfort
The seats are very supportive with good lumbar support. The road/engine noise is'nt too intrusive. Climate control works very well.

Security and Service
