Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Great value for money and better put together than BMW X1. More style than German equivalents in family SUV category. Auto box beats VW DSG for adapting to road variations but not as quick for changing between gears. If driven sensibly, the gear changes are almost imperceptible. Lack of turbo on 2.0 petrol leaves it short of rapid overtaking capability. Safety features come as standard - unlike German equivalents. Pleasingly economical for the size of car.

How reliable do you find the car?

Absolutely dependable, just like my last CX5.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Excellent roadholding. And, beats my previous VW Tiguan on safety features fitted as standard.
