On the road
Driving
Having owned the car for 18 months, I'm aware that the build quality does not seem as solid as the 406. You feel bumps in the road and some of the panels rattle.
Performance
Very smooth engine although engine tick over is sometimes uneven.

Living with it
Reliability
Build quality doesn't appear to be as solid as the 406. Some panels have developed rattles. Two recalls have been necessary - one for the towing ball and one for the electronic management system controlling the starter motor.
Image
The car looks stunning and there are some fantastic metallic colour options available
Comfort
Seats front and back are very comfortable. The dual zone climate control is very useful for passengers who like it hotter/colder than the driver.
