    Rated "best car in the car park" by my office colleagues.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Almost perfect, but I'm 6' 3", and wish I could move the seat back just one more inch without having to lean forward.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No sign of any break-in attempts yet. I fitted a Tracker anyway.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I wish dealers would learn that I want to take the car in for paintwork and service at the same time, and not have to make two separate bookings.
